West Coast Swing & Night Club Two-Step
West Coast Swing is the advanced favorite of GOOD swing
dancers. This fun dance started in California; in fact it is THE
state dance! This dance is seen everywhere…on all dance
floors, both Ballroom and Country Western. Night Club Two-
Step is very popular with both ballroom and country dancers.
It’s danced to the romantic, slow contemporary music that is
played in nightclubs and at every social dance event.
