USUALLY TAKES 3 YRS TO.LEARN AND TONS OF PRACTICE

ITS THE BEST. WCS. CALIFORNIA STATE DANCE. DESIGNED IN L.A.

French know how to dance WCS! Loving it. I am more a rock n roll fan (especially the simplified 2 step version which is danced in France in parties), for two reasons: 1) the more energetic almost bouncing rhythm with fits my style (I have extremely strong legs), and 2) because you can dance that simplified rock-n-roll with anyone, even with a woman who has never danced before as this is the man's duty to lead. I took some West Coast Swing classes and I realized that the rhythm is much more subtle , the man s feet almost glide on the floor (less my style), and second, there is no chance to dance this with a partner who does not know WCS. So if you want to learn this, go there as a couple!

Nantes ❤

Gutes Lied

Please like this comment, so it notifies me to come back here to watch my favorite KZbin video of all time. Every time someone asks me about WCS, I send this one! ❤

It's not swing dance. This is totally different

This video captures the beauty of WCS perfectly.

Very nice !

Musique d'aujourd'hui

glückwunsch zu den 1000 Abonnenten (:

I am so excited I begin lessons Tuesday. This video is very modivating.

Oh this seems to be pure joy. I love it!

There is NOTHING like a spot on West Coast! My absolute FAVOURITE!

I've been a part of many different dance styles and West Coast Swing is my absolute all-time favorite. The community is so welcoming, unlike any other, and the amount of versatility and freedom of expression to play with the music is amazing. Beautiful video Maxence!

WEST COAST ROOOOOCKS.....................

By far the best dancing style

This video reminds me of my start in westie. It brings back the beginner in me and I love it

À Philippe...mon Amour ❤. Ti Amo Amore Mio

Does anyone know the names of the couple dancing at 0:47?

Superbe montage, bravo et merci pour cette belle vidéo 👌

If this is the "music" this is danced to, yuck!

really cool moves

One of my favorite vids. WCS is my favorite dance. You can WC to almost anything... Send this to my new prospects.

looks lazy

guys, where are you from? curious to know where big communities are.. salsa is widely spread world wide.. but wcs? :)

If West Coast Swing is done on the East Coast, then does it become East Coast Swing?

80 % salsa :)

Hangar à bananes, chantier naval, 50 otages, graslin, chateau des ducs...eh mais c'est Nantes ! Et la partie face à l'océan, la côte sauvage du Croisic ? Quel plaisir de re-voir ces paysages alors que je me renseignais sur le West Coast Swing. West Coast justement... Il faut que j'y retourne !

Woaw D'autres morceaux dans ce registre ? ♥️

Thank you Maxence it was beautiful representation of West Coast Swing. Loved it. Is it ok to share your work here by posting this here in the US ?

Very cool love wcs. A great video

Bellissimo... peccato che a Napoli in Italia non esiste. :(

West Coast Swing music would help. Timing is not right without it

On one hand, I appreciate this video. There is little content put out by dancers below advanced level and this is a decent video celebrating our dance which is nice. I'd have no issue whatsoever with it if it wasn't for the title. "This is west coast swing". Yes, this is west coast swing. But this is also the first video you come across when you search the dance on youtube and therefore potentially one of the most prominent resources for a general audience that doesn't know much about it yet. And here it is misleading because West Coast Swing is so much more. An obvious point is the music. Sure, that's West Coast Swing. But WCS is also Blues, Hip Hop, Funk, Pop, etc., y'all know this is a loong list. This also correlates with a "vibe" the dance has. This video showcases one of a million facets that WCS offers in music, partnership and atmosphere, yet claims "This is West Coast Swing". Then there are the dancers. They're decent dancers doing a good job to the best of their abilities I'll assume. But all of them are on a similar level, they're all male lead - female follow, all of them share a somewhat similar body type. This is not a representation of our dance. We've got absolutely badass bigger dancers, have a bunch of amazing dancers who switch roles or/and dance and compete in their non-traditional role who are now even competing in switching across the pond in the US (and I doubt that it's gonna take much longer for Europe to catch on). The fact that dancers below or above novice level exist is an obvious one too which is ignored in the video. And what's with the dress code? I don't know when I last saw that many white pants during an event, nevermind dresses (unless it's super hot). I wouldn't mind seeing it there obviously but it does seem odd that these are the clothes deliberately put in a video claiming "This is West Coast Swing" when whoever had that idea could've picked anything else like the jeans, sweat pants and other stuff we're usually wearing. After all, there's a good reason, followers usually skip skirts for dancing. They're impractical and usually end up with us involuntarily exposing our underwear. And at last, there are the technical aspects. I don't expect this video to be technically perfect by any means but really, the rolling of the feet in the beginning (0:15) couldn't at least be edited to be on time? Same goes for some other bits, if you put in all this effort of filming, cutting and editing why not keep it on time? Then there's phrasing. There are some nice musical moments in here (although like half of them are drops which is like why, there are so many other ways to be musical but ok) but phrasing is the essential base line to musicality in our dance and this video is missing a whole lot of phrase changes (e.g. 0:54, 1:38 or 2:52). Again if you're gonna put in the effort of making this video why did you ignore those basic aspects when just a simple cut at the right time could've saved it. But overall, the thing that bothers me about this video is that the greatest thing about West Coast Swing is that you can always make it your dance due to its versatility. This video is not a good representation of that. It shows one way to dance WCS but it can't claim "This is West Coast Swing". And there are literally three videos out there (the other ones by Barna Westies and Peter Yin which actually do a good job showcasing the diversity of our dance) promoting West Coast Swing and this one is probably the first one non-WCS dancers come across when googling the dance so the misrepresentation does matter here. It's not the ideal way to market our dance and draws potential clients away from our community's teachers and potentially awesome dancers and people away from our community.

Great video!

Légèreté... Grace... sensualité

J'ai l'impression que c'est à Nantes. Pile là où je viens d'habiter. Il y a un nom de club? :)

Most positive posters here are ladies. A great dance for the girls, but extremely difficult for the men (my teachers' quote). I have already spent two years in beginners to somehow get the hang of it...

What is the name of this song? Because "west coast swing" is just the type of dance

Lindyhopper here and currently taking and LOVING west coast swing!!!

Top top top ...

Hi Max congratulations on a terrific video and for promoting WCS. I run the Euro Dance center in Germany and would love to share this video on our Website. Naturally, I will include a mention to you and the musicians. Is that OK with you? Ian

Thank you for a very beautiful well produced video and the ladies are all absolutely stunning.

Wow. Where do y'all dance that all the swing dancers are so attractive? 🤔

Oh my god I smiled so hard when I realized this was filmed in Nantes. I just studied abroad there and I miss is so much. Place de Graslin was my favorite hang-out spot.

Hey, could I use the Video for Promo in the local scene i Wanna build up? Greeting From Germany!
