TRIPLE TIME SWING

The Triple Time Swing can be used for multiple dance genres and is popular at social dances, country dances, and other social events.

This has just a slight variation of the basic step from Single or Double Time. Triple Time is usually danced to songs that are slower (120-140 bpm) and because of this is not generally referred to as Jitterbug. If you start with Triple Time and you can’t keep up with the music, then switch to Single or Double Time. Once you learn the Basic footwork then all the patterns are the same as Single time swing.

Music Examples:

• Ballroom - Everly Brothers: Cathy’s Clown - 120 bpm
• Ballroom - Temptations: The Way You Do the Things You Do - 124 bpm
• Ballroom - Bobby Darin: Dream Lover - 132 bpm
• Country - Brooks and Dunn: Brand New Man - 128 bpm
• Country - Tim McGraw: I Like It, I Love It - 124 bpm
• Country - John Michael Montgomery: Life’s a Dance - 135 bpm
