East coast swing is a
dance, derived from the
Lindy Hop by literally removing a couple of steps.
The basic is triple step, triple step and a rock step.
East coast swing (6 count) is intermixable with all forms of swing dancing, though primarily with Lindy Hop. Some moves in Lindy are 6 count moves and then one could learn other 6 count moves to go along with until you are back on the 8 count beat.
