What

is West Coast Swing?

West Coast Swing (WCS) evolved from Lindy Hop in California, becoming a very dynamic and playful dance.

WCS is danced to lots of different music genres (energetic pop, groovy R&B, heartfelt country, and tons more). Dancers describe it as smooth, elastic, and improvisational.

When dancing, both leaders and followers have opportunities to input ideas and be creative. Many dancers describe it in similar ways to having a conversation.

Here’s an improvised competition dance by two WCS pros, Anna Wallace and Sam Vaden, dancing to Take the Rain Away by Debelah Morgan

Who

is the instructor?

Hi, I’m Nabil!

I’ve been dancing West Coast Swing for 9 years and compete as an Intermediate leader and Novice follower. I’ve also coached recreational and competitive gymnastics for just as long, which has made me a strong technical teacher.

Dancing West Coast Swing has connected me to an amazing community around the world. It’s given me a space to build my confidence, and an outlet for creative expression.

Now I want to share this great dance with you.
