West Coast Swing [Abbreviations] WC or WCS
Derived from the Lindy Hop, it is characterized by a distinctive elastic look that results from its basic extension-compression technique of partner connection, and it is danced primarily in a slotted area on the dance floor. At clubs, the dance allows for both partners to improvise steps while dancing together. Typically the follower walks into new patterns, traveling forward on counts 1 and 2 of each basic pattern, rather than rocking back, as in East Coast Swing and Jive. One of the Latin Rhythms — see the navigation bar at the upper left of each page.
