Whats the difference between East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing and Country Western Swing?
faqlst[mofaq++]=”10″; The music! Different dances exist because different types of swing music exist. West Coast Swing is danced at the slower end of the musical spectrum and leans more towards Rhythm and Blues music than to Rock’n Roll. East Coast Swing and its cousins (jitterbug, lindy hop, jive) favor the up-tempo sound of faster Rock’n Roll, including the Big Band sound, music from the 50’s and 60’s, and the “hillbilly rock” from country and western music. When dancing to traditional country and western music, including Bob Will’s famous Western Swing, we borrow moves from these Swing dances and adapt them to true Two Step footwork.
