Both west coast and east coast swing use this 6-count step. the difference is the styling and principles BEHIND the dance. East coast and lindy are much more athletic and clean cut. west coast, on the other hand, is smoother, sexier, etc.

@clearerblue no, he has not taught anything for west coast swing. he is however, doing east coast swing correctly.

Stop calling this East Coast Swing. The starter step is a common way to start the dance.

Side to side triple starter is the standard among most WCS dancers. It's typically followed by forward-forward, though it can be replaced by "rock step" as a variation. Skilled dancers select appropriate one by listening to the music. WCS is all about dancing to the music, not simply dancing to the beat.

@NKdude - naw lindy is purist retro swing. wcs is anything goes modern swing. so it has disco salsa and any/everything else mixed in.

This isn't East Coast Swing. It's very basic West Coast Swing instruction. If you watch more carefully, you'll see that the woman is dancing in a slot, and Kiehm talks about "the slot," and they do a number of whips classic to West Coast. Look up Kiehm on you tube and you'll find some of the best WCS dance stuff around, both in competition and lessons.

100 percent West Coast Sweing. The ECS type beginning is still very common in some areas of the country and not in others.. but it's a standard starting move from closed.
