Swing music is back in all its glory. Bands like the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, and Royal Crown Revue, have revived the art of swing dancing. Community Campus offers a non-credit West Coast swing class. Taught by Al Henderson and Jane Morgan, West Coast swing is more difficult than the more popular retro swing. Retro swing is a combination of the Lindy Hop and Jitterbug, it's faster than West Coast, but the steps are simpler.
East Coast is similar to country swing and big band swing.
Henderson has been a dance instructor for 11 years, he learned how to dance at a Parks and Recreation class. He has been instructing for Pima for nine years. Henderson buys and sells machinery by day and teaches swing by night. Jane Morgan teaches the class with Henderson. Morgan was a student of Henderson's four years ago.
