Improvisation

One of the best parts about Swing dancing is the fact that everyone has their own style and tendencies. There is a clear basic step that is the foundation for each style of Swing, but beyond that there are countless variations. There are some people that spend a lot of time developing different ways to do the basic step, possibly by instead of simply stepping with the music at certain parts, stomping with the music. There are also many different moves that can be learned and then incorporated into the overall dance. However, one you learn a few moves that also gives room for much more improvisation. There is not just one way to start or end any move because there is always room for transitioning into or out of the move. I personally enjoy grouping together sequences of moves where both the guy and the girl are spinning with fun transitions in between.
