Swing Central,
your guide to learning and dancing
Swing, Lindy, and West Coast Swing in L.A.!
"Have it your Way!" Let's Dance is the home studio of FIVE time US Swing Champion Robert Cordoba, and TWO Time US Swing Champions
Deborah Szekely, and Beata Howe. Additionally Marcus Koch and Barbl Kaufer, the World Boogie Boogie Champions from Munich,
West Germany, will be teaching on Monday nights at Let's Dance!
The best way to choose which style you want to learn is to understand what kind of music they are each danced too.
West Coast Swing is phenomenally popular all over the US because it works to most Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues, as well as current
Top 40 music. It also works well for most Country Western style Swing. Lindy on the other hand is best danced to music from the 1930's and 1940's plus
some of the retro bands out today like Cherry Poppin Daddies and Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums. West Coast Swing Dancers gather nightly at
many places around the Southland like Memories in Tustin or Pasion in Studio City and will dance a varied mix of R and B and even some disco Hustle.
Lindy Hoppers will gather at places like the Green Hotel on Wednesday nights in Pasadena or the Derby in Hollywood. Most West Coast dance locations embrace
younger dancers and costumes are rarely if ever worn- most will dress for comfort. Lindy hoppers are more likely to dress in an odd assortment of 30's-40's-or 50's garb.
What is the Difference Between West Coast Swing and Lindy Hop?
Why Let's Dance?
When you have a studio full of US and World Champions other top dancers will always be passing through Let's Dance for coaching, choreography, or
just hanging out at our monthly dances. This year at the US Open we had couples in the finals of nearly event. Our teachers here have won nearly every division.
When our teachers travel to other schools to teach, their replacements are other US Champions. We won't try to sell you on one style of Swing because we're masters of all
of the styles of Swing. For a complete rundown of results from the US Open see our December newsletter.
