EAST COAST SWING.
_________________
East Coast Swing (ECS)
is a form of social partner dance
that evolved from the Lindy Hop with the work of
the Arthur Murray dance studios in the 1940's[1].
East Coast Swing can be referred to by many different names
in different regions of the United States and the World.
It has alternatively been called Eastern Swing, Jitterbug,
American Swing, Lindy (not to be confused with Lindy Hop) and Triple Swing[2].
Other variants of East Coast Swing that use altered footwork forms are known as Single Swing[3] or
"Single-step Swing" (where the triple step is replaced by a single step forming a slow, slow, quick,
quick rhythm common to Foxtrot), and Double Swing (using a tap-step footwork pattern.)
