Home A B C ...

West Coast Swing is the Official "State dance of California ". West Coast Swing originated from a dance called the Savoy Style Lindy, which was done at the Savoy Ballroom in New York in the early 1930's, although not invented by it was indirectly spawned by a man whose name was Dean Collins who also danced at the Savoy while in New York. Collins came to California in the 1930's to get into the movies and brought with him his version of the "Savoy Style Lindy." Collins, after dancing in Hollywood for a couple years, going to many clubs, dancing and competing got to know some of the other dancers, which have been said too have "not seen that style of swing before, but

var NTPT_PGEXTRA = 'pg=dancehistory'; // var NTPT_PGREFTOP = false; // var NTPT_NOINITIALTAG = false; History of Swing Dancing By: Lori Heikkila On March 26, 1926, the Savoy Ballroom opened its doors in New York. The Savoy was an immediate success with its block-long dance floor and a raised double bandstand. Nightly dancing attracted most of the best dancers in the New York area. Stimulated by the presence of great dancers and the best black bands, music at the Savoy was largely Swinging Jazz. One evening in 1927, following Lindbergh's flight to Paris, a local dance enthusiast named "Shorty George" Snowden was watching some of the dancing couples.
