Current WCS styles vary considerably. Modern WCS can be conservatively upright-postured, smooth and warm, or a funky, hot partnered-jazz dance. A bit more self-conscious than the wild abandonment of ’40s jitterbug, one of the first generic names for WCS was Sophisticated Swing . The current “Cosmo-girl” approach in which the woman explores her flirtatious sexuality to the max is by no means universal, although it does have historical precedent in the origins of the dance. Same comment on the “I’m just a gigolo” style of some guys. WCS can be chaste, I suppose, but is that “authentic?” You tell me . However, lots of room for the woman to play is definitely a common characteristic.
