Hand to hand is fast, easy, vintage, varied, and super fun. In this video, you'll learn the entrance, exit, a turn, a common variation, technique, and see examples of how to vary the overall feel and footwork of hand to hand. Thanks to my good friend, Sean Vitale, for helping me in this video!

Hi Laura! I’m in my early 20’s and I’ve been wanted to swing dance more regularly for years now. Do you happen to know any good affordable places to do swing in the LA/Ventura County area of Southern California? Or how to find a place myself? I love swing so much but it’s hard when there’s no consistent place for me to dance 😅
