WEST COAST SWING THURSDAY
7-8 pm - WCS Fundamentals
(Currently only open to people with partner dancing experience)
West Coast Swing is a smooth, versatile partner dance that evolved from the Lindy Hop and is typically danced to a wide range of music genres, including blues, R&B, pop, and contemporary. Known for its distinctive elastic look and relaxed, slotted style, West Coast Swing emphasizes connection, improvisation, and musical interpretation between partners.
In this dance, the follower typically moves back and forth along a “slot” while the leader guides with subtle, fluid movements. Unlike many traditional swing dances that are more bouncy or circular, West Coast Swing has a sleek and grounded feel, allowing for expressive footwork, pauses, and styling from both partners.
One of its most appealing qualities is its adaptability — dancers often bring their own personality and musicality into the dance, making every partnership unique. Whether in social dance settings or on the competition floor, West Coast Swing continues to evolve and attract dancers around the world for its balance of structure and freedom.
