Jitterbug/Swing history
Swing is known as the most uniquely American of all dances. Characterized by swing-outs, kicks, jumps, and spins, this buoyant Big Band dance is contagious. Since the birth of “Swing” music in the mid 1930′s, the Swing dance craze, which is also known as Lindy, Jitterbug and East Coast has been an American icon. Not only is this dance a staple at weddings, but you can find it anywhere from smoky blues clubs, to the fast paced Bid Band sounds of Glen Miller and Benny Goodman.

Good songs and artists for Jitterbug dancing include

In The Mood – Glenn Miller
Rock Around the Clock – Bill Haley and the Comets
Start Me Up – The Rolling Stones
Jump, Jive, An’ Wail – Lious Prima or the Brain Setzer Orchestra
