Swing dancing was created in the 1930s as an escape from the rigors of the economic depression and as a cure for the popular, but brutally Waltz of the 1920s. Today, Swing dancing offers the exact same escape from the everyday stresses and adds the excitement that isn't found in most popular ballroom studios.
Swing has come a very long way since the 1930s, where it was only popular and socially acceptable in heavily urbanized regions of the US. Swing dancing enjoys massive popularity worldwide from Seattle, WA to Stockholm, Sweden and everywhere in between. Instructors can be found in just about every major city and the areas surrounding them, as well as the venues that sponsor weekly dances.
Swing today is supported by diverse groups of people that appreciate the roots, the evolution, the influential characters, the music, and of course the jaw dropping moves of the fast paced dance. For singles, Swing dancing has become a source of interesting and inspiring relationships because of it's constant social interaction.
Whatever your flair, swing dancing is easy to learn, fun to practice, and exciting to pursue, plus the swing style surpasses all other dances in absolute coolness. Budget hunters will appreciate low cost dance classes, dance shoes, and dance clothes.
