Experienced swing dancers combine some of the different styles listed below into their dances.  Just as jazz music changes emotions and feeling through the song, dancers change styles within a single song.  By getting familiar with these styles, swing dancing becomes more of a fun form of expression and less about isolated moves and patterns.  See other dance styles towards the bottom of this page!

6-count Jitterbug

Intermediate/Advanced Jitterbug

Ready to add fun patterns to your current Jitterbug repertoire?  Be ready to step outside the normal 6-count swing patterns you know and play with some rhythms and turns.

 

Lindy-Charleston

Lindy-Charleston is a high-energy dance that is a great addition to other types of swing dances.  A wonderful option for dancing to faster music, Charleston kicks and turns are a fun way to get around the dance floor.

 

6-count Lindy Hop

Using 6-counts for Lindy Hop is a great introduction to Lindy Hop.  The patterns bridge 6-count Jitterbug and Lindy Hop with a special flair that dancers choose to incorporate into their swing dances. 

 

8-count Lindy Hop

Classic Lindy Hop immortalized big band swing dancing with its signature style and movement.  This style of dance will have you impressing your friends in a short time.
