What is swing dancing? Is it like Carolina Shag?
Swing dancing originated in Harlem in the 1920’s and spread across the country. Carolina Shag evolved out of the swing dance movement of that era. The swing dancing that you will see at the PSDS dances will mostly consist of a 6-count movement referred to as Jitterbug or East Coast Swing, and 8-count dances called Lindy Hop and Balboa. You may also see a wide variety of styles and interpretations on the dance floor. Mostly, everyone just has fun!
