Understanding Swing Rhythm

Swing rhythm lives inside the beat.

In this class, you’ll learn what a swinging eighth note is—how it moves differently than straight rhythm, with a natural long–short groove: DA–da, DA–da.

We’ll explore this rhythm through two key step shapes: the triple step and the kick ball change.

You’ll break them down, feel the difference, and practice each with music to build clarity, timing, and swing feel.
