Known as the "Sophisticated Swing," West Coast Swing incorporates slinky, smooth and sexy moves to Soul, Blues and Contemporary music.
This dance began in Blues clubs in the 1940's, originating from the Lindy Hop. Since then, each region has developed a style and name for this slotted Swing dance. Examples are:
- The Texas Push
- Chicago Steppin
- D.C. Hand Dancing
Whatever you call it, the West Coast Swing is "the" Swing Dance for today's music and is hotter than ever! Take this course for 3 cycles, and you are ready to move to the Intermediate level.
