Swing is a carefree and joyous dance that became popular in the 1940's.  It is danced to up-tempo music from Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong and 50's style  rock and roll, to bands playing in  today's current Los Angeles swing dance scene.
This class will explore the basics of west coast swing, touching on connection, rhythm, and the most crucial foundations of the dance. Great for beginners and returning dancers.
