prompter: What are the differences between the Lindy hop and East Coast Swing

assistant: The Lindy Hop and the East Coast Swing are both swing dance styles, but they have several significant differences. 

The Lindy Hop, which originated in the late 1920s in Harlem, New York, is characterized by its upbeat, energetic, and playful style. Lindy Hop is danced to fast-paced swing music and typically involves circular movements and large, sweeping steps. The dance also often includes improvisation and individual expression, which sets it apart from other swing dance styles.

East Coast Swing, on the other hand, is a faster, more structured dance that is typically performed to faster swing music. Unlike the Lindy Hop, the East Coast Swing is a highly choreographed dance that follows a specific pattern of steps. The dance is characterized by its simple, repetitive footwork, tight turns, and compact movements, which make it easier for beginners to learn.
