professional Instructors will be hosting OUR NEXT DANCE!
Exciting news for everyone! In addition to an exceptional lesson with Lee Fox that will elevate your West Coast Swing skills, we are thrilled to announce that professional dancers will be hosting at our upcoming dance event on June 7th.

We're excited to transition into a more inclusive experience. All dancers/dance genres welcomed.
At our dances we provide an extensive selection of dance styles, including west coast swing, country 2-step, salsa, hustle and BALLROOM. Our skilled instructors are not only passionate about dance but also committed to helping you reach your personal dance aspirations.

Letter from our president:
Dear Members,
The club is continually growing and working to keep up with the changes in the dance community and the music. We’ve been encouraging our members and the dance community to engage in giving us their feedback on music and any new ideas that they may have to improve their evening.
We can accommodate any music request because the SFSDS dance is for everyone.
This club was founded for the “Swing dance community,” when we began, we played all types of swing music but over the years, we have expanded our music genres to cater to our Hustle, Salsa, Country, Line dance, Latin and Ballroom requests. We play for the entire room, with so many options for the WCS crowd we feel that we can add the other dances for those who don’t wish to dance WCS all night long. Most of our requests are not WCS.
Most recently, we have been in discussions with the National Dance Teachers Association regarding a possible alliance with our Board of Directors.
Stay tuned for more details as they become available!
Your President, Susan
