-- What is Lindy Hop? --
Lindy Hop is an energetic, improvisational swing dance that emerged in Harlem in the 1920s and 1930s, blending jazz, tap, and breakaway moves, and danced to a wide range of tempos, from slow, soulful tunes to fast, high-energy big band music.
-- What is Balboa? --
Balboa is an elegant, close-embrace style of swing originating in the socially and ethnically diverse Southern California dance communities during the 1920s and 1930s, known for its intricate footwork, dynamic flow, and graceful, understated movements.
-- What is Collegiate Shag? --
Collegiate Shag is a playful swing dance originating in the Carolinas during the 1920s and 1930s, characterized by its buoyant energy and fast footwork, expressing rhythms through kicks and turns, and perfect for dancing to fast tempos.

-- Wondering what role to dance? --
Partner dancing has a Lead and Follow.
- The Lead/Leader is the person suggesting the moves and rhythms by initiating their follower's momentum.
- The Follow/Follower is the person who completes the moves and shapes within the rhythm suggested by the leader, often adding styling and rhythmic variations to beautify the overall movement.
