Hi Claudio,

Yes Jive and Swing dance moves have the same foot pattern for the basic steps. And tons of the steps are the very much the same between those two dances!

The main difference between Swing and Jive is the footwork technique and speed. East coast Swing is much slower.

I am a little confused here Leon.
I am taking dancing lessons at a local Dance Studio and the basic Jive steps that I leaned there are exactly the same as
your Swing Basic Step.
Are some steps the same on both of these dances??

Natalia,

We have both beginner and intermediate lessons in other dances. But we just started making swing lessons. There will be more swing lessons added soon.

I got the “trial by fire” treatment a few months ago at a local dance hall; great if you have any aptitude for dancing, which (despite the fact that I’m a musician) I do not. Your basic swing dance video really helped me to get started. Now all I gotta do with these three left feet is practice practice practice! :-)

Hi Leon,
Have become your newest member. At 70, my bucket list includes learning to do ONE dance WELL, and I’m excited about being YOUR online student of the East Coast Swing.. I’m sure I will thoroughly enjoy this venture.
