So What Is West Coast Swing?
About Us
Bay Area Whip Dance Club (BAWDC)
The Bay Area Whip Dance Club (BAWDC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the swing dance formerly known as whip. Whip evolved into West Coast Swing in the early 90’s and that is what we now teach. You can learn from BAWDC and dance with anyone else in the World that has had West Coast Swing lessons. It is a Universal dance.

- The Upper Limit: There isn’t one! You’re never too old to learn how to dance. Whip is a slow-to-moderate paced dance. You can take it easy or you can “whip-it-up”! There are all ages that Whip dance. Lindy Hop is another story, however: It is exciting and fast paced. Get ready to get your aerobic exercise for the week!
