West Coast Swing
The West Coast Swing is directly related to East Coast Swing and was undoubtedly born due to the style of music being played in the 1940’s, and the need for a dance that did not take up so much room. The West Coast Swing has evolved into a “Slot” dance that allows more dancers into a small area, but encourages more individuality from the participants.
The dance is typically performed to a wide range of music genres, including pop, blues, and R&B, allowing for creativity and improvisation in the dance style. West Coast Swing incorporates a variety of patterns, footwork variations, and syncopated rhythms, making it a dynamic and engaging dance to watch and participate in.
