A – Lindy Hop is the original swing dance born in Harlem in the late 1920s. It’s mainly made up of 8-count patterns, but some 6-count moves can sneak in. East Coast Swing (also known as Jitterbug) is a 6-count dance that evolved from Lindy Hop. It is simpler than Lindy, making it perfect for beginning dancers to start building their lead/follow skills.
