West Coast Swing Is a definitive style of swing that can be danced to traditional 12 bar Blues, contemporary R&B or any music that would make a great International Slow Foxtrot. It has roots in Carolina Shag, Lindy and East Coast Swing, but over the years through great dancers, like Skippy Blair and Buddy Schwimmer, it has developed into a highly technical dance. Like all great dances, it continues to develop. In the contemporary social/club dance scene it has fused tango and swing moves to create a style of blues dancing. If you like your dancing slow, relaxed and sexy, with strong body rhythm and you can handle the challenge of learning rigorous technique, as in Tango, then West Coast Swing is for you. |
Argentine Tango Born in the social up-heaval of late 19th century Buenos Aires, it ritualises and expresses passion, sensuality, intimacy and much more.....migrating to the Capitals of the world, tango has developed, mutated and fused to become a sophisticated urban club dance. It's now been given UNESCO World Heritage Status as an art form, alongside Japanese Kabuki.  |
