Where can I learn swing "line dance" styles

Basically, there are three swing line dances:

--The Madison
--The Shim-Sham Shimmy (or 'Shim-Sham')
--The Jitterbug Stroll

You can find such stuff on the Internet. They
will often show you the history of the dance and even the details of the step patterns. For
example, type "Jitterbug Stroll" on a Yahoo!
search and you will find it.

However, it was difficult to find a site for
The Madison at this time.

Shim Sham maybe

I did a little bit more research. Perhaps the dance style I'm thinking of is "The Shim Sham" (sometimes The Shim Sham Shimmy).

Let me know if anybody has had any experience with Swing line dances. Which ones do you think are most adabtable to different music styles, and which do you think are easiest to learn/teach?

I must let you know all my life i have loved to dance but growing up it was considered a bad thing so somehow i let that part of me go just because it was such a bad thing to do but that psalm mention makes things seem better if anything dancing has helped me with some of the toughest moments in my life it kind of lifts you up to another level just wanted to say thankyou
