The fascinating Swing Charleston kick patterns are a major part of both Swing and Lindy Hop. These unique, eye-catching, high energy patterns can be used just as easily be used to Swing or to Lindy as well.

This course covers Side by Side  Charleston patterns and shows you how to get in and out of them using Swing 6-beat timing.

Swing Charleston Classic patterns include Bus Driver, Kick and Rock, Side by Side Charleston, and Crossed-Hand Charleston as well as others. Many people are not aware that the Lindy originated out of the Charleston. In particular, the “Side by Side” and “Crossed-Hands” patterns were pretty much the first Lindy patterns ever used when Lindy was making its breakout from the Charleston in the 1920s.

Please note this is an Advanced class, so if you are a beginner, steer clear. Thanks !!

Beginning Hustle - Scott 
Prerequisite: Beg. Swing

Formerly known as the "Latin Hustle" back in its day as the most famous Disco Partner Dance in the 70s, this flashy partner dance is a clever combination of Swing footwork and Latin hip motion.  The patterns and footwork are actually taken from Swing while hip motion and feel of the dance is more similar to Salsa. You will certainly enjoy this dance which is a unique blend of both dance styles.

Please note that although we teach this crash course starting with the Basics, in order to save time we assume everyone in the class has already taken Beg Swing since so much of the Latin Hustle footwork is taken from Swing
