The exciting styles of the 30's, 40's and 50's will delight your students as they swing and rock!

This video features three dance numbers: A rambunctious production number choreographed by Angelo Moio that reflects the fabulous 40's; a swingin' production number choreographed by Cathy Roe that takes us from the late 40's to the early 50's; and a duet by Cathy Roe and Angelo Moio which provides a "dictionary" of steps from the 30's and 40's that includes traditional swing steps, the lindy hop and numerous variations, plus "signature" dance steps born of Hollywood and Broadway during this zestful dance era.
