The characteristics, or attributes, of each style will be identified and compared. A basic swing group will be presented which will then be studied in each of the four styles. The identification of music appropriate to each will also be addressed. If you are interested in the broad scope of swing dancing, or have just been curious to try a different style, this course is for you. This is not intended to be a beginner's course.

There's the challenge. But no challenge, no growth. The artistic performance of any partnered dance requires that the dancers develop skill and expertise in the execution of technique. Individual movement technique looks at each dancer with keen attention to poise, line, rotation, weight distribution, weight transfer, and foot placement. Dance technique works floorcraft, musicality, texture, and emotion into the overall performance.
