Dance to the Groove East Coast Swing East coast swing is a relatively easy dance to start out with. It is done on a six count, so when dancing, one is not often starting on the first beat of the measure. While sometimes this may seem less than desirable, I find that it allows the dancers to focus less on the music, and more on feeling the lead and how the dance progresses. After gaining the basic steps and knowledge of leading or following, it is exciting to progress to other types of swing dancing. Savoy Style Lindy Hop Lindy Hop is a more advanced type of swing dancing, done with a basic pattern of eight beats. This gives the leader more play with combining the dance gracefully with the music. Savoy style was the style first danced in the Savoy Ballroom, and is different than Hollywood Style Lindy Hop. Savoy style is a more mellow and rounded dance that is very connected with the floor, and Hollywood style, the style used for filming dancing in Hollywood, is more showy, with exaggerated movements, and fake outs that make a movement seem like it has more motion than it does in truth. Latin Dances This is where ballroom gets good. These dances are danced, for the most part, to either upbeat or slightly syncopated music, and have a lot of hip motion! Hip swivels and quick turns make the meringue, salsa, rumba and cha-cha very visually appealing dances that look like they'd be hard to learn. The best part is that they're not that hard to learn! The most important thing to remember about these dances is to have fun, and don't worry if you're doing it "right." Latin dance also has its more sedate or passionate dances, such as the rumba, bolero and the tango. Didn't I already mention the rumba? Well, in fact, yes. When danced to a slower beat, the rumba can be a smoother and more expressive dance rather than a quick paced showy one. The bolero, from what I can understand, is like a rumba, except the quick steps and the slow steps are exchanged. Sorry if that doesn't make much sense, I'm still trying to understand it myself. And there is the tango. There are two main types of Tango, Chilean and Argentine. Chilean is closer to the dance that is danced in international competitions, and Argentine tango is the dance of passion. The Argentine tango came from the dock workers in the Argentinean sea ports. Unlike many other ballroom dances, it is not a dance that evolved in the upper-class. Rather, it was first danced by people of the lower classes, who did not know how to dance formal steps, but rather just let the music dictate their movements. till next time! happy feet is here!
