Boogie Woogie 1
50’s style music with a lot of energy and cool moves. Compared to East Coast and Lindy it has a different style. Many moves are the same, but the look is different to fit the music. All the dances are related, but since Boogie Woogie is more to the 50’s music it also has that 50’s character and attitude. Part of this is done in the footwork with fast feet and shakin’ footwork.
