For those who had enjoyed the first session on 15 Oct, this is another chance for you to try your hand at the SWING. For those who have no idea what I am talking about, you are more than welcome to join us to see what is all this Hype about. Do you know what is the Swing? The Swing is a dance developed concurrently with the swing style of jazz music in the 1920s, '30s and '40s.

Below is a brief discription of Swing.

The term "swing dance" commonly refers to a group of dances that developed concurrently with the swing style of jazz music in the 1920s, '30s and '40s, although the earliest of these dance forms predate swing jazz music. The best known of these dances is the Lindy Hop, a popular partner dance that originated in Harlem and is still danced today. While the majority of swing dances began in African American communities as vernacular African American dances, a number of forms (Balboa, for example) developed within Anglo-American or other ethnic group communities.

Swing jazz features the syncopated timing associated with African American and West African music and dance — a combination of crotchets and quavers (quarter notes and eighth notes) that many swing dancers interpret as 'triple steps' and 'steps' — yet also introduces changes in the way these rhythms were played — a distinct delay or 'relaxed' approach to timing.
