Skippy Blair is considered by many to be the queen of West Coast Swing. Skippy developed many of the concepts we consider foundational today. Concepts such as Rolling Count, Centering Knob* and 3-Toe Base.
Her writings are very detailed and a must read for anybody interested in West Coast Swing.

Excerpt from article…..
Unlike a center of mass (used in martial arts for a lower base stance) – or a center of gravity, which changes location with different body types – the“Center Point of Balance” is located in the same place on every person, regardless of size or shape. It is located in the Solar Plexus – right in your center – just below where the ribs come together.
