What is West Coast Swing?
WCS is a "living" dance that evolves with modern music (Pop, R&B, Blues, Hip Hop...), a smoothed-out evolution from Lindy Hop primarily danced to swing jazz music. It's a contemporary partner dance built on principles rather than patterns, allowing for endless creativity and personal expression.
