West Coast Swing & more
In our AcouSwing parties, we dance primarily West Coast Swing. If your heart beats for modern blues or modern jive / ceroc™ with a taste for slower, acoustic music, we will love to dance with you!
West Coast Swing
Rooted in Lindy Hop, west coast swing (and its simpler version smooth swing) is characterized by an elastic look. It is danced primarily in a slotted area and allows for both partners to vary the steps while dancing together, putting it in a short list of dances that emphasize improvisation.

Modern Jive / Ceroc™
The original modern jive, then known as LeRoc, is an evolution of a French version of jive (LeBop). It is characterized by off-phrase dancing and a lack of defined footwork.
Under the influence of West Coast Swing, a slotted version of modern jive sometimes called Smooth Swing has been widely adopted.
Modern Blues
Danced essentially on slow modern music, modern blues blends the moves and aesthetic from traditional blues dances with the footwork-free spirit of modern jive.
Modern blues is danced primarily in close position and emphasizes musicality over fixed patterns.
