The Swing music will include: Big-Band tunes from the 30's & 40's, early rock and roll from the 50's and 60's, rock & roll/funk from the 70's & 80's, and a couple of Texas blues and rock-and roll swing tunes from the 90's. Fast swing/slow swing, East Coast/West Coast/Lindy hop swing; and a few-"belt-buckle polisher's." Foxtrot, cha-cha, rumba, waltz, hustle, nightclub, Cajun and Western 2-step, zydeco, electric-slide, and maybe a tango.
Hopefully I will have a mini-lesson for the "Shim-sham"-one of the first line dances; done to swing music made popular in the late 1920's. Remember-"no excuses! Hope to see you on the dance floor.
