STANDARD SYLLABUS
EAST COAST SWING (Standard)
East Coast Swing is one of the most fun, energetic, and beginner-friendly partner dances you’ll ever learn. Known for its bouncy rhythm, triple steps, and playful attitude, East Coast Swing is perfect for anyone who wants to hit the dance floor without feeling overwhelmed. Whether you’re brand new to dancing or just looking to add some variety to your social dance toolkit, this style is easy to pick up and a blast to dance to everything from old-school rock ‘n’ roll to modern country music. On this page, you’ll find the full East Coast Swing syllabus taught the X Dance way—step-by-step, broken down clearly, and focused on what actually works in real-world social dancing. We keep it relaxed, real, and practical, so you’ll always feel confident whether you’re dancing in a studio, a honky tonk, or at a wedding. Each video follows a clear progression from the foundational footwork and timing, to core patterns and turns, and then to more advanced moves and styling. Follow along at your own pace, pause and rewind anytime, and let us guide you from your first basic step all the way to confidently swinging your way through the dance floor.

You’ll also get exact step-by-step footwork for both leaders and followers, plus full-speed and slow-motion demos to help things click faster.

Everything’s broken down more clearly, shown more completely, and demonstrated more thoroughly—so you can dance with confidence.
