What is West Coast Swing.

West Coast Swing (WCS) is a partner dance derived from Lindy Hop.

It  is a slotted dance: The slot is an imaginary area, long and thin, eight or nine feet long if danced at a very slow Tempo, but shorter if the music is at a faster tempo. The follower travels back and forth in the slot dancing straight through the man. The leader consistently moves a minimum amount (at mid-way point) to her sides, barely out of her way.
