East Coast Swing vs. West Coast Swing: Know the difference? #swingdancing

[renearreola]

Another difference I've figured out is: that you can't fake gravity, meaning in ECS when you're jumping around, what goes up, must come down; that's hard to not do when people are bouncing up and down in ECS. With WCS, people can fake walking, meaning that since WCS is much more grounded, people may have difficulty trying to figure out how to 'walk' when they think they're trying to 'dance'.

Fun fact is most of the time, we start dancing WCS with ECS's triple, triple, rock step and (underarm) throw out! :-)

All the improv videos I see are wcs is it not a thing in ecs?

[AnjaLerntDeutsch]

Ecs looks like jive to me. But. Is the bounce always UP in ecs??

[justagerman]

ECS looks just like a jive, or am I wrong?
