This lens is here to provide you with a little information on the East Coast Swing, and a lot of options for viewing and purchasing Swing music and dance lessons. I am providing a number of different options at different price points. I hope you will find the exact product and information you are looking for.

The East Coast Swing is a genre of ballroom dancing, and is included in the American rhythm complement of dances. It evolved from the Lindy Hop, and has also been called the Eastern Swing, Jitterbug, American Swing, East Coast Lindy, and triple swing. It is the most diverse of the swing dance family.

Swing music can have a four or six count basic step, and a range of 34 to 46 beats per minute.

Check out this title specifically:

Ballroom Dancing for Beginners DVD
Ballroom Dancing for Beginners will appeal to novice ballroom dancers who want an introduction to several different social dances. Instructor Teresa Mason, assisted by Randolph Scott, teaches basic patterns for six popular ballroom dances: fox-trot, cha-cha, tango, waltz, rumba, and swing. Mason sensibly begins by introducing steps that recur in many ballroom dances, such as walking step, rock step, and triple step; several dance positions; and music timing for different dances. Next you start learning specific dances. This 47-minute video is well instructed, not rushed or complex, and Mason doesn't try to pack too many moves into each dance.
