It's extremely funny to watch these vs. modern WCS champions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuessx9D23c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuessx9D23c), which has almost none of the actual WCS basic you'd expect and see a lot of in (3).
Compare to lindy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN3NkAfi3x4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN3NkAfi3x4), which even now is much more similar to its roots, pre-revival lindy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-mT0wowIn4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-mT0wowIn4.
- nordsieck 2y agoIMO, the primary reason for this is because WCS is danced to contemporary music. When the music changes, the dancing changes to suit it. I think your example is actually quite illustrative of this - the 2nd song had a lot more "swing content" than the first; since it's an older blues song the traditional West Coast Swing patterns fit it better.
