You can read some of the history of the dance (and watch the interview on WCS and the music that influenced it on this page on our blog. Currently there is a dancer named Liza May who has a great youtube channe for wcs music that she keeps updated almost daily! She has monthly lists of songs so if you want to stay cutting edge, and you love to sift through music, this is a great resource! How did we get here?Īgain if you are a newer WCS dancer, (or a bit of a nerd like me) you might have questions about not only West Coast Swing music, but how it has evolved over the years? I had the same questions so I interviewed a dance historian on the subject. There are a lot of channels to follow where people post some great tunes. Youtube can be a GREAT resource for songs. I love the section where tip WCS DJ’s from around the country post their top 10 lists and favorite all-time songs. Once again the site is a bit dated BUT… there is still some timeless info. Misha talks a lot about music rhythm, mood, tempo ect in his posts which make them a timeless resource. What I like about it is his songs are broken down by Beats Per Minute (BPM) so you can get an idea of the beat range of particular songs.Īgain some of the music lists are not up to date (last post 2012) BUT… I love some of the blog posts about WCS music. This site is a maybe a bit out dated BUT… who am I to judge.
The songs are broken down to Slow, Medium & Fast which is nice. The page above give a nice list of Contemporary Top 40’s, Old School Classics, Slow/Smooth and even a nice list of non WCS songs that might be played during a wcs social dance. These guys are top WCS pros so you can really trust them. I give you my scouting report and what I like about each one. You can even play the songs right from the page you’ll get!
