West Coast Swing
The official dance of California, West Coast Swing is a truly funky “slotted” dance is smooth (no bounce) where the follower travels back and forth along a shoulder width rectangle, called the slot. The leader is more stationary but will move in and out of the slot depending on the pattern led.
Followers have more freedom than any other dance, performing their syncopations at will. It incorporates many complex turns to emphasise a certain coolness in the way each person moves. Partners in this style are particularly flirtatious and playful in their interaction with each other. West Coast Swing can be danced to a wide range of music including Rhythm and Blues, Country Western, Funk, Disco, Rock and Pop.
