| | West Coast Swing |
 | | West Coast Swing is a laid-back, improvisational, smooth and sultry dance done to a wide variety of slower swing-tempo music, including rhythm and blues, funk, country-western, and rock and roll. | | | West Coast Swing also stresses leader-follower connection and dancing in close harmony with the music. | | | It developed from the Lindy and is done primarily to medium tempo Rhythm and Blues style music (it can also be done to music that includes Soul, Rock and Big Band). |

| | About the Madison West Coast Swing Club |
| | West Coast Swing is a laid-back, improvisational, smooth and sultry dance done to a wide variety of slow-tempo music, including RandB, disco, pop, blues, swing, jazz, and country. | | | Occasionally one of the local dance instructors would teach a class in West Coast, but it was simply not the wonderfully sexy, funky, and improvisational dance I had seen in Arizona. | | | The workshop was attended by 24 people, about half of whom caught the West Coast bug and continued dancing wherever there was music and floor space available. |

| | East and West Coast Swing Very Briefly |
| | Of the two patterns West Coast is arguably more adaptable to a wider variety of music although both can handle a wide array of music types and speeds. | | | You can almost feel the music sort of roll like a wave at that point. | | | The linear pattern also worked better for bluesier, jazzier music. |

| | West Coast Swing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | When swing fell out of mainstream's consideration as pop music around the 50s and was replaced by rockabilly, dancers on the West Coast began using swing moves to the new pop music, thus changing the dance and bringing about the variation now known as West Coast Swing. | | | West Coast Swing is believed to have evolved from Lindy Hop, though both have evolved into different dances for different musical tastes since the fork. | | | The follower stays in her slot, pivoting, then coming back to where she started. |
