What's West
Coast Swing?

West Coast Swing is a sophisticated, high-style evolution of the Lindy or Jitterbug which became popular during World War II. Some say that, in order to conserve space on the crowded ballroom dance floors of that era, the dancers started using a slot pattern instead of a circular one. Others credit the Hollywood choreographers with having made the modification to a slot pattern in order for the dancers to remain within camera range. The result of this modification, with the freedom of movement which it produced, gave swing dance a unique quality to allow partners individual technique an styling. Since this all came about in the Pacific States, the resulting product came to be known as "West Coast Swing" and, after 40 years, has become the California State Dance.
