What is WCS?
You’ve never seen this before. West Coast Swing is a fun, dynamic, and flexible partner dance. It has evolved to a smooth, hip, modern dance. We dance to Katy Perry, Taio Cruz, or Bruno Mars.
Watch the video! The dance is improvised on the fly with the lady following the man’s lead, impressive! See more…
