JmacNYCT, Thank you for your nice replay to my comment, I have no intention of being rude. My mom was a champion west cost Swing dancer in San Diego in the 40's, and I am the leader of a swing band. About 6 or 7 years ago she started dancing once again and she is taking lessons for a top teacher in S.D. and she will admit the way she is dancing today is not as lively as it was in her past, witch is good for her. I also know about the music, for me it must have a back beat.

@allenlewis You are correct! However West coast swing was derived from Lindy basics and evolved into an elastic, upright style, that focuses on connection, improvisation, and interpretation of many forms of music to include blues, contemporary, and hip hop. The swing beat may be dissapearing from its present form but the basics of 6/8 count patterns, triple stepping, and basic patterns can clearly be seen. Try incorporating salsa, tango, and hip-hop into Lindy hop and tell me how that goes.

@allenlewis Sorry to disappoint you but this is West Coast Swing at its finest... a great dance that doesn't depend on just old fashion swing music... the other night I did it to Lord of the Dance from the same soundtrack... boy, that was interesting!

I bet you the camera guy only has 1 tooth, ok, maybe 2....
He ruins the the whole video and dancing enjoyment and experience...
What an idiot !
Obviously, first time in his life he sees PRO WCS dancers on the floor.

This is partner dancing not Swing, It don't mean a thing if it ant got that swing, and this has no swing in the dance or the music. I play in a true Swing band ( and were hiten hard four to the bar) I see great Swing dancers all the time, and this isn't even close.
