West Coast Swing Stuttgart

The West Coast Swing Community in Stuttgart is a group of dancers who meet regularly to dance, learn, and have fun together. We are a diverse and welcoming group, always happy to see new faces and regularly organising events beyond the usual dance classes. Beginners are just as welcome as experienced dancers. All you need to join us is a love of dancing and a willingness to learn something new.

West Coast Swing has rapidly grown in popularity in recent years. This is due in no small part to the impressive media presence of professional dancers. WCS is a partner dance style that originated in California in the 1940s. It is characterised by smooth, narrow movements, with partners moving up and down a narrow rectangular area on the dance floor, known as the slot. The dance is usually performed to contemporary music such as Blues, R&B, and Pop, and allows for improvisation and individual interpretation of the music. The style is often seen as playful and less formal than other ballroom dances.
