Why WCS?

West Coast Swing evolved from Lindy Hop into a smooth, elastic dance that works with nearly any genre of music. From blues to pop, hip hop to country, if it has a beat, you can WCS to it.

Danced in a slotted pattern with an elastic connection, WCS emphasizes musicality, improvisation, and connection. It’s a social dance that’s constantly evolving with contemporary music and movement.
