SwingDance

While BallroomDance includes most of the swing dances popular
today, the swing and ballroom dance cultures are distinct.
Club-style swing dancers often find ballroom dancers inexpressive and too worried about technique.  Conversely, ballroom dancers may get frustrated when a swing dancer doesn't lead a step "correctly", or when they hold a figure several counts extra to match a break in the music.  These, of course, are BroadGeneralizations.


Popular swing dances include:

LindyHop -- CharlestoN -- EastCoastSwing (aka TripleSwing and StreetSwing)

CountrySwing is yet another division of swing with a largely distinct culture.
