What style of swing is danced at local dances?
For the most part, the term “swing dance” or “swing night” refers to the style of music being played and not to the style of dance being danced. Basically this means that there are no rules governing what style to dance. On a typical night, you will see all kinds of dance styles that are conducive to swing music. It is very common to see Lindy Hop, East Coast, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, and occasionally Fox Trot, West Coast, and Carolina Shag. Most styles are very compatible, so feel free to ask everyone to dance.
