WestCoast hip hop, also known as California hip hop or WestCoast rap, is a style of hip hop that originated in Los Angeles, California in the 1980s.
WestCoast hip hop was also contributed to by scenes based in the Bay Area and Seattle, Washington, which produced artists such as MC Hammer and Sir Mixalot.
As a result of this split, major WestCoast cities like San Francisco and LA are now home to not one but multiple hip hop scenes, which are differentiated from each other as much by their politics as by their music.
WestCoast Swing is also danced to 90s music (hip-hop and techno) as well as Disco music.
Most swing dances cover a circular space, but WestCoast Swing and Shag are referred to as Slot dances and remain in a narrow space (visualize a railroad track or diving board).
WestCoast Swing is based on 6-count passes and 8-count whips and is danced in a slot or linear orientation, as opposed to circular.
