[{"role": "system", "content": "\"Swing dance\" is a group of dances that developed with the swing style of jazz music in the 1920s-1940s, with the origins of each dance predating the popular \"swing era\". During the swing era, there were hundreds of styles of swing dancing, but those that have survived beyond that era include: Lindy Hop, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, and Charleston. Today, the most well-known of these dances is the Lindy Hop, which originated in Harlem in the early 1930s. While the majority of swing dances began in African American communities as vernacular African American dances, some swing era dances, like Balboa, developed outside of these communities. Somewhat surprisingly, \"swing dance\" was not commonly used to identify a group of dances until the latter half of the 20th century. Historically, the term \"Swing\" referred to the style of jazz music, which inspired the evolution of the dance. Jitterbug is an umbrella term that denotes all forms of swing dance, though it is often used as a synonym for the six-count derivative of Lindy Hop called \"East Coast Swing\". It was also common to use the word to identify a kind of dancer (i.e., a \"swing dancer\"). A \"jitterbug\" might prefer to dance Lindy Hop, Shag, or any of the other swing dances.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi!  Do you ever do any social dancing?

I wonder if dancing helps improve balance?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "For me, it has.  Parts of Lindy Hop are done with a partner; other parts are done solo, so you really have to be aware of not only your own balance but your connection with your partner."}, {"role": "user", "content": "So much pressure though!  Probable only because I'm inexperienced.  Do you practice solo or with a partner?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Both!  If you're looking to start, but afraid to work with a partner, the Charleston is a good dance to start with.  It can be done solo."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That sounds good!  what is the Charleston like?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "If you've ever seen scenes in movies with flappers from the 1920s dancing, then you've probably seen the Charleston.
