West Coast Swing

Sophisticated and flirtacious, West Coast Swing is related to Swing and is a popular favorite of night club dancers. Its compact footwork and body connection really develop a strong sense of leading and following. Don’t be fooled by the name, as West Coast Swing is popular everywhere!

Characteristics of the Dance

West Coast Swing is a very stylized slot dance with “Lindy” timing (8 counts: one-two-tap-and one-two-triple step). It’s danced in a flirtaceous, saucy manner.

Sample Songs

West Coast Swing is usually in 4/4 time and to a slower tempo than Swing. It has a bluesy feel.
