West Coast Swing and Lindy Hop are ( in my opinion) poles apart in Style. They are about as far apart as you can get. Don't ask me to get technical about this, I'll leave that to some of the others on the board, DavidB, for instance. But where WCS has a sexy Latin feel to it, Lindy Hop is more jumpy and lively, in fact, (and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong ) Lindy has it's basis in the Charleston.
The only way for you to find out for yourself, Emma, is to get along to some classes and TRY THEM OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally, I LOVE West coast Swing but I can't really get excited about Lindy Hop. Having said that, I like to watch other people doing it (if they are good).
