Swing Dance is an umbrella term for a group of dance styles that originated in the 1920’s. Taking its inspiration from the Jazz era of music, it all started with the grandfather of all swing dances: Lindy Hop. One need only watch the top Lindy Hop teams, such as George Snowden and Big Bea, Dean Collins and Jewel McGowan or Al Minns and Leon James, to understand that partnered jazz dance is a duet. It is a collaboration between two (solo) dancers who communicate through their arms, sending signals between them, responding, making jokes, surprising each other and slipping back into harmony again.
