Swing

Lively, loose, and full of personality. Country Swing takes the fun of swing dancing and sets it to a country beat: partner spins, easy footwork, and the kind of energy that lights up a honky-tonk.

About the Style

What is Country Swing?

Country Swing is one of the most energetic and expressive dances you'll find on a Texas country dance floor, a high-energy partner dance featuring big turns, dips, and creative footwork, all set to upbeat country music. It draws from East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, and traditional country dance styles, blending them into something uniquely Texan.

At DFW Young & Social Club, we teach Country Swing with a focus on the flashy elements that make it so fun to watch and do, spins, dips, the duck-under, and the kind of spontaneous creativity that comes from a solid foundation in leading and following.

Country Swing is a crowd-stopper. Once you have the basics and start adding the flashier moves, you'll be the couple everyone watches on the floor. It's the most dramatic dance in the country repertoire, and one of the most fun to learn.
