Hand Dancing is for the young and young at heart. Here at the Co Co Cobana in Hyattsville MD – She is kickin’ it with Ali. Hand dancing, also known as D.C. hand dancing or D.C. swing, is a form of swing dance that can be traced as far back as the 1920s, from Lindy Hop, to Jitterbug and to the 50′s when Washington, D.C. developed its own version and named it Hand Dance. It is characterized by gliding footwork and continuous hand connection/communication between the partners, hence its name. It fell out of favor during the disco era, but in the 80′s, Hand Dance resurfaced in the Washington dance community.
