PE 1170
Introduction to Swing Dance

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

In this class you will learn the basics of Lindy Hop (also called Jitterbug and East Coast Swing), a social dance originated by Black Americans in the early twentieth century that is still popular today all around the world. We will work on footwork, timing, partnering, and musicality, with the goal of empowering you to have fun on the social dance floor—at weddings, parties, and wherever there's good rythmic music playing! You'll learn to improvise and have the opportunity to create short choreographs too. No dance experience or partner is necessary. In fact, you will change partners frequently in class. Wear clothes you are comfortable moving in. Shoes must have leather soles OR be white-soled sneakers with the treads worn smooth, or you can dance in socks.

When Offered Fall, Spring.

Fees Course fee: TBA.
