West Coast swing branched off from lindy hop in the 1960s, following a desire to adapt swing to contemporary music.
It has become one of the most exquisite and refined dances of the swing family, and is danced throughout the world, to almost any type of music: blues, RnB, disco, pop, country, jazz...
Typically danced to slower tempos, West Coast swing emphasizes feminine sensuality, but leaves plenty of room for fun and humor.
