What is the difference between Lindy Hop and West Coast Swing?
1 Answer
Both Lindy Hop and West Coast Swing are swing dances with global communities. Lindy Hop originated in the African-American community of 1930s Harlem, danced to jazz and blues. West Coast Swing evolved over decades, resurging in the '80s and '90s, adapting to modern music genres at slower tempos.
