About the Dance

Danced to contemporary music such as Pop, RnB, Blues, Funk, Swing and more, West Coast Swing (WCS) is the perfect and most versatile partner dance. Characterised by a distinctive elastic look that results from its basic extension-compression technique of partner connection, this is one of the coolest and most popular partner dances around today.
