West Coast Swing is a partner dance with roots in the Lindy Hop. It was developed in the 1960’s on the west coast of the US. It is characterized by an elastic look that results from its extension-compression technique of partner connection. The dance allows for both partners to improvise steps while dancing together, putting West Coast Swing in a short list of dances that emphasize improvisation

Two Step

The country Two Step is a style that has roots in Foxtrot, Jitterbug, Polka, and Texas Waltz.  Its a progressive dance which means it moves around the dance floor, usually in a counterclockwise manner.  This style can vary depending on the state and dance floor you are on, but ultimately its a partner dance staple in the country scene and a fun dance suitable for all levels!
