West Coast Swing

(Western Dance – Couples )    

West Coast Swing:

The basic dance position is called Promenade.  

The tempo of music can vary between 112 and 132 beats per minute.

The basic step pattern is danced to six or eight counts of music – 1&2 3&4 5 6 or 1 2&3 4 5&6 or 1 2 3&4 5 6 7&8.

The man does a rock step and the woman does a forward walk on counts 1 2, this is followed by both partners mutual but not necessarily synchronous triple step rhythm to the pattern’s end.

西海岸搖擺舞（West Coast Swing）是一項源自Lindy Hop的合作舞蹈。它的特點是具有彈性外觀，這是由於其搭檔連接的拉伸壓縮技術所致，主要在舞池的開槽區域中跳舞。舞蹈允許雙方搭檔一起跳舞時即興表演，將西海岸搖擺舞列入強調即興表演的簡短舞蹈清單中。
