What is East Coast Swing?

East Coast Swing is a partner dance derived from the Lindy Hop, which originated in the 1920s and 1930s during the swing era. While the Lindy Hop is known for its complex footwork and acrobatics, ECS simplifies the movements, making it more accessible to beginners while retaining its vibrant and energetic essence.

Characterized by its triple-step rhythm and smooth turns, ECS is danced in a circular pattern, allowing for seamless transitions between movements. It can be performed to a wide variety of music genres, including swing, rock ‘n’ roll, blues, and contemporary tunes.
