How do you dance swing?

It's difficult to learn without a live person to show it to you and walk you through it. I suggest going to a venue where they have swing dance events, they usually have a lesson at the beginning for you to participate in. I don't know where you're from, but I live in Portland and popular venues here are: The Scottish Rite, PPAA, and The Crystal Ballroom. If that isn't an option for you, I suggest you YouTube videos and find one that provides an easy walk-through for east-coast swing, which is the easiest type of swing dance.
