The West Coast Swing originated as a variation of East Coast Swing that took up less space on the dance floor. It evolved into a slot dance where partners remain in their own space but can express individuality through turns, spins, and footwork. The music is a smooth, slow swing style in 4/4 time at a medium tempo without heavy beats, such as rock and roll or country western.
