What is West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing (WCS) is a partner dance that originated from Lindy Hop and is known for its "elastic" look, which comes from its extension-compression connection technique. It is characterized by improvisation, allowing both partners to add their own creative steps. West Coast Swing is versatile and is danced to a wide variety of modern music as well as more traditional swing music.
​
West Coast Swing is a relatively new dance in Denmark, but it is growing fast in our neighbouring Nordic countries as well as in Europe and the US.
​
If you are curious about how the dance can look, the videos are a good example of the playful and musical nature of West Coast Swing.
