This is the "West Coast Swing", in the Male Crystal Novice Division at the World Championships of Country Western Dance in Nashville, TN, Jan 2010 at the Opryland Hotel. West Coast Swing is the dance that I enjoy the most socially. This routine was choreographed by Bobby Pritchard who did an awesome job. I only wish I could dance it the way Bobby does! :-) I also competed in Diamond Male Novice. I placed 3rd overall in Crystal and 5th overall in Diamond. In this dance, I placed 3rd and received a "Gold in the dance. I am dancing with my Pro, Terri Bordeaux. Terri won "Top Teacher" at this year's Worlds!
Wonderful!! This is the way West Coast Swing was danced as I remember it so fondly. This is probably the best tempo for it but one of the great things about it is that you can dance it to just about any tempo!
I agree that it is the most enjoyable social dance.
