Basic Swing 1.0
- East Coast Swing

6-count pattern East Coast Swing is probably the most danced swing dance in the world. It is usually danced with faster music. It is energetic and fun. Many 6-count dances, such as Rock&Roll, Boogie Woogie, West Coast Swing and Jive, also share the same 6-count pattern with East Coast Swing. This course will teach you the basic rhythm pattern and some fun moves.

Basic Swing 1.1
- Charleston

Charleston is the father of Lindy Hop. It's symmetric footwork patterns and various partner position variations make it easier for the leads to learn and fun for leads and follows to dance.

In social dancing, swing dancers often use all the above three types of swing dance to make the dance rich and fun.

基础摇摆舞 1.0
- 东岸摇摆

6拍的东岸摇摆可以说是最普遍、影响最广泛的一种摇摆舞的形式，适合稍微快节奏的音乐，风格活泼俏皮。许多其他的舞种，譬如Rock&Roll、Boogie Woogie、西岸摇摆、以及国际标准舞的Jive，都与东岸摇摆分享类似的模式。这个课程将从基本的韵律、舞步模式开始，带领你体会东岸摇摆的趣味。

基础摇摆舞 1.1
- 查尔斯顿舞

林蒂舞是从查尔斯顿舞演化出来的。查尔斯顿舞对称的舞步与多样的舞伴位置变化使查尔斯顿舞对领舞者来说比较容易学习，但对男女来说都同样有趣。

跳舞时，通常以上的三种舞步会在同一首歌里用上，增加了舞蹈的丰富性与趣味性。

Basic Swing 1.2
- Lindy Hop

Lindy Hop is the original form of swing dance. We will bring you from the fundamental rhythm pattern to the basic lindy hop swing-out, turns and lindy circle. The content of the course is progressive, therefore, we suggest that you attend all five classes.

If you can dance Jitterbug or East Coast Swing and would like to explore the original form of swing dances, this is for you, too.

基础摇摆舞 1.2
- 林蒂舞

林蒂舞是摇摆舞的原型。这个课程将循序渐进地带领你体会摇摆舞与摇摆乐相辅相成的美妙关系。从体会摇摆舞的基本节拍与舞步模式开始，到学会林迪舞的基本动作与变化。由于每堂课都是建立在前一堂课的基础上，我们建议你出席每一堂课。

如果你已经会跳6拍的东岸摇摆或是Jitterbug，但是想体会、发觉林迪舞的乐趣，这是你最好的选择了。

Note to the Beginners:
Learning many new moves won't help you improve faster. On the other hand, practicing what you already know and make them better WILL. Basic skills are the fundamental for moving forward. Not only the beginners need to learn the basic skills, it's also helpful for the experienced dancers to review their basic swing-out to seek perfection.

If after one cycle of the course, you are not clear and not comfortable with moves and steps, Shanghai Swings suggests that you re-take the course instead of rushing into next stage. After all, many brilliant dancers started as slow learners.

给新学员的话：
学很多新动做并不会使你进步的更快。反而是不断练习、改进已学会的动作，对你的进步会有长远的好处。扎实的基础是进步的基石。不但新学员需要学会基础技巧，有经验的舞者不时检视自己的基本动作，也是很有好处的。

摇摆上海建议如果一个阶段的课程结束后，您对课程里学习到的内容还有疑问或者觉得不顺畅，您应该重复上基础班，而不是勉强进入下一阶段。许多非常好的舞者在开始的时候都是班级里比较笨拙、学习得比较慢的。
