West Coast Swing in Pittsburgh

What is West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing is one of the most versatile and social partner dances in the world, and it's thriving right here in Pittsburgh.
A smooth, versatile partner dance set to modern music
Danced to pop, R&B, blues, and more, not just country
Built on connection, creativity, and musical expression
Loved by dancers of all ages worldwide
This is West Coast Swing
Watch it, don't read it. First: a regular social night — everyday people, every kind of music. Then two Jack & Jill finals: random partner, random song, nothing choreographed.
