These two have more chemistry than the entire periodic table
Thanks 😅😁
Such a great comment’ ❤😂
Really nice. For someone unfamiliar with J&J they would probably think that was choreographed. Well done.
This is the most beautiful connection human beings will ever experience with each other.
I couldn’t make it past the first two minutes without rewinding
Beautifully choreographed and danced--gentle, subtle, graceful, sensuous, romantic. These two are SO in sync! Wonderful!!!
it’s not choreographed
It’s actually all improv and done on the spot!! I think that’s really impressive
West coast swing, Jack & Jill it’s random pairing, lead follow: no choreography! Just two skilled dancers improvising within the West Coast Swing dance form.
Neat, isn’t it? ❤🎉 Amatuers can play too! Just look up “West Coast Swing Dances in your area. Or you can find a West Coast Swing event (conference) They happen all over the world and across the US. It’s SO much fun! 💃 🕺
They float across the floor.
This is seriously the coolest pol
THIS is dancing. It's all fun and all that, to watch someone slinging someone around their necks...repeatedly....but precise footwork is the keystone of good dance. Gymnastics is gymnastics....dance is dance. These two are exceptional.
Debatable
What's even better is that country is getting better at that on a national stage. Even the gymnastics are rhythmic now. And clubs are now combining WCS and country, so that WCS is the rhythm and flow while country hits the accents and climax. Much like how flaring and tech combined for bboying in the 90s-00s.
If it wasn't for the horrible music they use now days I would love to learn
That was fantastic!! So smooth!!!
Very smooth and romantic! Great couple.
Amazing lead
Great job!
Despite my enamorment with WCS swing history, this is a lovely dance
Nice
💥😍😍😍💥
Huzzah!!
Couple fucking GOALS.

Walking the horse
Can I ask what music is used in this performance?
Khadil - Better and Billie Eilish - Bad guy.
Esto es en estados unidos o en Alemania, o en cual pais?
Es en ustados unidos
This particular one was in the USA, but they do have west coast swing events and local dances in Germany and throughout Europe.
What’s the name of the first song?
Better by Khalid :)
So where's the swing?
The footwork
Have you never watched WCS?
This is West Coast Swing, which is stylistically very different from the Lindy Hop it developed from.
Lindy Hop is very much still alive and kicking, and it has all of the "swingy" vibes you'd expect. West Coast takes a lot of the basic footwork and connection from Lindy and stylizes it to better work with modern pop music.

Melhor parte
This is salsa 🤣
This is... West Coast Swing. Salsa is very different.
The name might be somewhat confusing if you hear "swing" and expect to see 20's era Charleston or something. West Coast evolved out of Lindy Hop, which is very much a "swingy" swing dance (and is still alive and kicking today). It takes the basic footwork of Lindy and stylizes it to work well with modern pop music, so they share some underlying concepts but look very, very different.

Nice dancing. Music is meh.
Ok, you wait for more than a minute for action, then still, nothing happens. Jeesh!
But it is so worth it once they get started!
Haha they still tore up that dancefloor tho!
I would love to learn how to dance but I can't find a single place that uses good music. It's all this crappy no talent shit like they are using here
Maybe you would like Tango? Different music. Could be what you are looking for.
