West Coast Swing

West Coast Swing is a dynamic and improvisational partner dance that thrives on connection, musicality and smooth movement.  It is defined by an "elastic" push-and-pull connection between partners, allowing for fluid transitions and creative expressions within a slotted framework.  Unlike other swing dances, West Coast Swing adapts to a wide range of music, from blues and R&B to pop.
