Swing classes and dance events across the UK

The various swing dances originated from America between the 1920s (notably the Charleston) and 1940s. American GIs introduced Lindy Hop (also known as the Jitterbug) into the UK during the second world war, however the style disappeared as Rock and Roll took over in the 1950s. Swing styles were revived in the 1980s when a small group of enthusiasts sought out and met with original swing dancers to learn and preserve the authentic dance styles.

This category includes Balboa, Boogie Woogie, Charleston, Collegiate Shag, East Coast Swing, Jazz Steps, Laminu, Lindy Hop and West Coast Swing.
