Swing Dancing

Swing dancing was developed in the United States in the 1920's. The waltz, the tango, and the fox trot are associated with swing dancing.

When this type of dancing began, it was very controversial. Dance partners were not normally allowed to touch each other during the dance and swing dancing surprised people.

In Paris, the younger people danced in this style a lot and it became popular.

Swing dancing is very fast and energetic and uses a lot of movement and space.
