What is West Coast Swing?
West Coast swing is a modern evolution of East Coast swing that is danced to more contemporary music. The footwork is based on a 6-count basic, but it has evolved in a stylized way to fit more modern music. As it evolved, it became its own dance. However, it is still a distant cousin, or perhaps a different dialect of the same language. It’s similar to the differences between British English and American English. The conversation can still be had between dancers from the various communities, but each side might think the other “talks funny”.
