It's individuality at its highest level while maintaining physical contact with a partner. A safe means to express ones self through the guidance of music. It allows dancers to experience connection to a partner, music the floor and to the space around them with limitless imagination.........it's a way of life for many. Michael K.

WCS is freedom to me, feeling alive. I don't have to think or speak or worry--For three minutes, it is just me, my partner, and the music. No where else am I so in the moment and connected to (yet disconnected from) the world. Lauren A.

I think creative expression is an invaluable asset in life. WCS provides people with a tangible opportunity to have this when they might not have found it elsewhere. I have seen first and secondhand the positive impact this has on people's lives... And it's a big one. Ben M.

West Coast Swing is the ultimate platform for artistic expression. The floor is a blank canvas, the music is your inspiration, and you and your fellow artist collaborate together to create something entirely unique and personal. Your personalities meld together, your moods mesh, your bodies coexist to create a work of art. Some may love it, some may despise it, some may be confused and perhaps even disturbed by it. But no matter, it is your soul's expression and you thank every day for the ultimate medium of West Coast Swing. Taletha J.
