What is Swing Jive?

Swing Jive as commonly known in Australia is the predecessor of West Coast Swing, which originated from California.

It has also been called Hollywood Style, Smooth Lindy, Sophisticated Swing and Western Swing. Swing Jive was known to
be the first triple step dance performed in a slotted style and can be danced to fast and slow tempos, being smooth and
slick or slinky and sophisticated.

The Starlight Lounge Saturday Swing Jive Dance Classes are available to anyone wanting to learn swing dancing,
those wanting to learn a different dance style, and/or for those wanting to add a new style to their existing dance
repertoire.

Frequently Asked Questions.

• Do I need to have a dance partner?

It is best to have a regular or permanent dance partner as it makes learning so much easier and faster.

With saying that, we do have a limited number of "spare" leader and follower dance partners available
that can help out from time to time. They cannot be considered permanent or reliable dance partners as they
volunteer their time and can often be unavailable from one week to the next.

• Do I really need leather sole shoes? I only have sneakers.

Shoes with a leather sole provide the most comfort for ankles, knees and hips while dancing, so it is preferred.

If you don't have a pair of leather sole shoes you may be able to find a cheap pair at op shops. EG Salvos, Vinnies, etc.

Alternatively you can get a pair of Dance socks (aka shoe socks), these fit over your synthetic sole shoes and will provide
a frictionless dance sole, perfect for when dancing in sneakers and alike. Once you are certain you want to continue with
your dancing you can then look at investing in a pair of traditional leather sole dance shoes.

More information about dance socks can be found here.
