WEST COAST SWING.

_________________

West Coast Swing (WCS) is a partner dance derived from Lindy Hop.

It is characterised by a distinctive elastic look that results from

its basic extension-compression technique of partner connection,

and is danced primarily in a slotted area on the dance floor.

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.

The Anchor Step is a common ending pattern of many West Coast Swing figures
