West Coast Swing is a partner dance that evolved from Lindy Hop and is danced to a wide range of music, including blues, R&B, pop, and contemporary hits, typically in a slotted pattern where partners move linearly rather than in a circle. It emphasizes improvisation, elastic connection, and musicality, allowing dancers to interpret the music's rhythm and phrasing in real time. It has a strong competitive and social dance scene, with congresses and competitions held worldwide.
