Sun. May. 03, 2026 at 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Monthly DJ’d dance event! We are a diverse and inclusive community of dancers united by our love of Swing dance.

Balboa originated in Southern California in the 1930s, and it’s danced to faster tempos than Lindy Hop. You will need separate shoes for dancing. Leather or suede soles are perfect. Thanks!

This event is FREE!

Since dancing is considered a high-risk activity for Covid-19 transmission, we ask that attendees be considerate of the community: Masks are optional, but we encourage their use. Do not attend if you’re experiencing any symptoms of a cold or “allergies.”
