West Coast Swing is a contemporary style of swing developed forty years ago on the West Coast - California. It spread throughout the US and is now the most popular form of swing dancing in North America with WC swing clubs in most North American cities. Its popularity stems from the amazing variety of styles: it can be slow and elegant, silky and sensual, hip and funky, fast and furious. It has been danced with a nightclub, ballroom, or country style depending upon the region you're in, the music playing or your mojo.
