| Have you ever
watched people dance a cool sexy version of swing and wondered what it was?
It was probably West Coast Swing. It has gained a huge popularity
through-out the country. It is so popular, that hundreds of
conventions and contests are held around the country every year. West Coast
Swing is a truly American dance. It started forming in the late 40's, after
World War II, and has continued to evolve to the new dance form that it is
today. It can be danced to a wide variety of music, including Blues, R&B,
Jazz, Pop, and Country. If you are interested in learning to dance West Coast Swing, you have definitely come to the right place.
