Hello,
My name is Sean. And for the longest time, i’ve looked on the internet for resources for West Coast Swing and have found mixed results and a slew of Youtube Videos. My goal is to document my journey and share my epiphanies as a West Coast Swing dancer with other dancers who could not find those resources online.
I’m just a regular college student (age 20) who has fallen in love with this dance we call West Coast Swing. I started seriously considering Swing Dance during Boston Tea Party in 2010. This dance has already accumulated such a history in it’s [relatively] short existence when compared to some of the other dances out there, but it is by far my favorite. Just the sheer intensity, the passion, and the influence-ability of the improv style of WCS has got me hooked. I truly believe in such statements as–
“I’ve been dancing WCS for 30 years and i’ve Never. Been. Bored” -Sarah Van Drake (at BTP during a workshop)
I’ve only begun teaching WCS at the college i currently reside at, and competing on the circuit, but my goal is not to become a professional in terms of points, but rather to have the most fun in this dance that is so infectiously fun and spread my knowledge of it as much as possible to contribute to the evolution of this dance. I hope you will find this blog useful in improving your own dance.
