Lindy Hop is the ORIGINAL swing dance, evolving out of the Charleston and other big-band-era dances starting as early as the 1920’s. Lindy uses 8-count basic footwork similar to that of West Coast swing, also incorporating 6-count charleston patterns and leaving a ton of room for improvisation and personal flair. What really sets it apart from other forms of swing is its versatility and the general exuberance with which it is performed!

West Coast Swing (WCS) is a partner dance with roots in Lindy Hop. It is characterized by a distinctive elastic look that results from its basic extension-compression technique of partner connection, and is danced to many types of swing and blues. The dance allows for both partners to improvise steps while dancing together, putting West Coast Swing in a short list of dances that put a premium on improvisation.
