Since the beginning of swing dancing, music has changed and so has the dance. Swing dance has evolved across the U.S. to accompany many musical genres such as jazz, bop, rhythm & blues, rock and roll, country, and disco. Over time, 1920s-ballroom dance studio instructors began to simplify the late 1920s-Lindy Hop, 1930s-Swing and late 1930s-Jitterbug, in order to reduce the complexities of the dance for the public. This resulted in the creation of the two swing dance styles, the 1940s-East Coast Swing and the 1940s-West Coast Swing. As a social dance, swing continues to attract a vibrant crowd of all ages as it fosters life skills such as connection, trust, and improvisation. In the late 20th century Modern Swing, different modern swing communities emerged worldwide, preserving traditions while innovating with new styles.
