West Coast Swing

So you love the top 40's and radio music and feeling the beat when it comes to dance, and that's okay! West coast swing is perfect for you. Not only can it be danced to almost ANY song but it leaves a lot of room for improvising. No one dance is ever the same so there's definitely room for you to have a solo or two (or five)...
East Coast Swing

So you're a bit old fashioned and like a natural rhythm to follow. East coast can vary but there's always a general pulse to ti that you can lean on if you ever get lost. And most of the music that fits well is either live or 50's music, and it's always a good time if the you like the song you're dancing to!
