Swing dances in a nutshell: Charleston: 20's Charleston started with African American dancers and became popular in the general community and with the Women's Flapper movement. Swing Charleston developed into the Lindy Hop. Lindy Hop: The original swing with mostly 8 count and a bit of 6 counts. Several styles exist but two main ones are the hop'n Savoy Style and the Smooth Hollywood Style. East Coast Swing: Ballroom 6 count part of Lindy. West Coast Swing: 6 and 8 count part of Hollywood Style Lindy. Balboa: The 1930's swing that developed from the crowded Ballroom's. Balboa Swing is when couples break away from each other out of Pure Balboa. Very romantic and stylized like Argentine Tango. Collegiate Shag: The 6 count hip hop of the 1930's/40's. Commonly remembered from the cartoon. Find out more about what we know about swing by clicking on the below links: What's Swing? "Jitterbug"
