A fun, lively and toe-tapping primer on Swing Dancing! A form of dance associated mainly with the swinging style of jazz music from the 1920s-40s, Swing comprises many jazz roots dances including Lindy hop, Charleston, Balboa and Breakaway. It is a free, improvised dance with an emphasis on music, rhythm and groove.
The Hong Kong Swings community began in 2006 with a handful of inspired dancers and has since snowballed into a flourishing community, a passionate team of teachers, a small but dedicated team of volunteer DJs, event organisers and performers. Hong Kong Swings is also part of a worldwide movement which is gathering momentum and growing all the time.
