What is West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing (WCS) is a partner dance, known for its creative, conversational style, emphasis on connection and elasticity, 'rolling' footwork, and adaptability to many genres of music–including blues, R&B, rock, pop, contemporary, and hip hop.
WCS is a modern form of swing dance which is typically slower, smoother, and more grounded than its "Big Band" style predecessors, Lindy Hop or East Coast Swing.
WCS is loved by dancers of all ages, skill sets, and ability around the world. The community is welcoming, non-judgmental, and friendly to dancers of all backgrounds, ethnicity, and life-styles.
Dance4Dreams is thankful for the support of our West Coast Swing friends in Boston and the surrounding area. For more information about WCS social dancing, lessons, workshops, and special events, please visit:
