Perth Swing Dancing
The Swing Academy specializes in teaching the Lindy Hop. It's a cool, fun, expressive, exciting and superlative attracting dance style that started back in the day. There are quite a number of partnered "Swing Dances" that we know of, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, 20's Charleston, Blues Dancing and Vintage Foxtrot. But the Granddaddy of them all is the Lindy Hop and it's what we specialize in here at the Swing Academy.
What is the Lindy Hop? Well we think it's the most fun you can have standing up, dancing around, shaking it it out and getting crazy with a Swing Out. It was born of an era when everybody partner danced and the music was pretty much only made to dance to it. It was the Swing Era of the 1920's, 30's and 40's. When the Big Bands would Swing and the Dancers would Swing Out. It's a dance that started in Harlem New York and is now done across the World. The dance is full of features; it's got Fancy Footwork, Crazy Tricks, Cool Dips and Smooth Moves. It was also the first dance to make a feature of the 'Air Step'. You can be a Lindy Hopper when your are Old and you can't be told, or Young and want some crazy fun. So come down to one of our Beginners courses and let Perth's best show you how to Swing it Out!!!.
