All dances were created. They all have different niches.😊
Thank you so much for explaining this! As a WCS dancer, the question of what’s the country swing basic has been perplexingly elusive. Thanks for clearing it up!
@brie_wise glad we could clear it up! 😊 Country Swing hasn’t been around long, but it’s fun and I think it’ll stick around for awhile - Emily
A historical retrospective is always good. Thanks so much.
I wish instructors teaching Country Swing would also teach floorcraft with that dance because those guys are forever busting into the CTSr's line of dance. Just one of my pet peeves.
There is a good group in arizona that are teaching country swing. Country swing developed in the bars which is why floor craft is not really there. But I think as it developes it will get better.
Thank you very much,always informative, I really like the move of the week dance steps you post . Getting pretty good at WCS because of your great teaching videos.
Thanks again.
We are so happy we have been able to help people with dance!

Country swing looks very similar to Social jive 🤔 east coast swing is like a milder version of ballroom jive, and then I recently discovered videos of rockabilly jive. . . it is never ending 😂
Country swing looks very similar to hustle (or discofox in Germany) to me. Slow is a tap, but the patterns are the same.
They are all very similar for sure!

It’s popular cuz it’s easy and you can go from complete beginner to decently competent in a couple of months, at a bar, while drinking with friends. Good luck doing that with west coast swing 😂
Fingers crossed that during this resurgence of country music that artists actually put out good country music but I'm not holding my breathe on that one.. There's just been way too many stupid songs that are supposed to sound emotional I guess but don't.. "dodging potholes In my sunburnt Silverado", "I don't wanna be in a one man band", ... come to mind when I think of songs I've heard playing when I've gone dancing where I'm like "wth is this?"..
Not everybody has to like country music. West coast swing might be a dance that suits your musical preferences way better 😊
What type of swing has the pattern slow slow quick quick and is danced on faster music than jive, but with many similqir patterns? I thought that was ECS, but clearly from this video it is not…
Oh great question. There are 3 swings that have similar or the dame patterns but you do to different speeds, Jive, East Coast Swing, and Single time sing (jitterbug). Jive and single time swing are done to the same speed music. Single time swing or jitterbug is the dance you are thinking of. It is a great dance! You can find some videos on jitterbug on our site www.socialdanceonline.com
