WESTCOAST SWINGWest Coast Swing (WCS) is a partner dance derived from Lindt Hop. It is characterised by a distinctive elastic look that results from its basic extension-compression technique of partner con-nection and is danced primarily in a slotted area on the dance floor. The dance allows for both partners to improvise steps while dancing together, putting West Coast Swing in a short list of dances that put a premium on improvisation. Couples & singles welcome

“The most fascinating part of WCS dancing is the individuality of the dancers. Stylings are flexible… the style one chooses should

be as individual as the clothes one chooses to wear.”
