Adult Couples Dance

 The Adult Couples Dance classes will resume March 4 with 6 weeks of West Coast Swing.

West Coast Swing is a form of swing dancing. It is danced at a slower tempo than Jive and the Woman generally dances up and down a slot rather than in a circular pattern around her partner.

West Coast Swing (WCS) originated in California in the late 1930’s. The exact origin is disputed, but most sources credit the movie industry. Directors, concerned with camera angles when filming dance scenes, insisted that the actors dance in straight lines so their profiles would always show. Others say it evolved because the dance floors of the West Coast night clubs were too small for the exuberant forms of other swing rhythms. If you wanted to dance, you had to squeeze together and work in a slot to have room.
