Untitled[edit]

This statement:"The best known of these dances is the Lindy Hop," although supportable through references, still gives an inaccurate impression. Due to the relative difficulty of Lindy Hop to East Coast Swing it will never be the most commonly done swing dance and therefore calling it the best known is misleading. Surely the best known dance is the one that the most people know how to do rather than the one that most people have heard of?Slipandslide (talk) 19:14, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cajun swing[edit]

Although the regular swing dancing communities don't know about it, Cajun music has it's own version of the swing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.173.142.15 (talk) 23:22, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

International style jive[edit]

The text describes this as "in which the performers look to be hopping off the ground". This is an editor's invention, not a proper description. The dance is mostly done on the balls of the feet. International style jive is described in any basic ballroom dancing textbook, and is danced with the latin dances in international competitions. The technique books describe it as 42/44 bars per minute, or 40-46 bars per minute, and the sources respectively are Laird, Walter 1988. Technique of Latin dancing, and The revised technique of Latin American dancing. Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing 1993..Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:36, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
