What is West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing (WCS) is a partner dance and competitive dance form descended from Lindy Hop. It is danced to a wide variety of music styles and is known for its distinctive slotted pattern, improvisational nature, and close connection between partners. The World Swing Dance Council oversees sanctioned competitions and maintains the WSDC points registry.
What is a WSDC-registered event?
A WSDC-registered event is a West Coast Swing dance event officially sanctioned by the World Swing Dance Council. These events offer points competitions — primarily Jack & Jill (randomised partner draw) and Strictly Swing (chosen partner) — that count toward a dancer's official division ranking: Newcomer, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, All-Star, and Champion.
