History of Swing

 We dance East and West Coast Swing and maybe a few others but where did it come from?  Here is a good article on the history of Swing.

 Swing dancing beginnings

What do you think of when you hear the words “swing dancing”? Many people picture guys throwing girls wearing poodle skirts in the air and Elvis Presley playing in the background.

We Dance Swing and Cha Cha to his music every week.  No one artist in recent history has had as much impact on the music industry as Michael Jackson.  Love him or hate him,  his music has influenced countless artists and performers, defined a decade and left a legacy for the music industry. 

From Unprescedented success and superstar status to controversy and scandal,  his music transcended all barriers to make him The King of Pop.

These are some of the songs that dancers will always love to hear when on the dance floor long after his passing.
