Soul Sunday: West Coast Swing Social

A monthly indoor picnic and West Coast Swing social! Fill your Soul by Gathering & Sharing together in this afternoon event. Featuring rotating DJs, pop-up learning sessions, and a potluck picnic.

Bring a friend, bring something to share! “we all have something to bring and share with others”. 

We’ll have tables set up for a picnic area to gather together, so feel free to bring an activity or snack/food to share. The social is included with our Beginner Boot Camp, so this afternoon is also a wonderful time to meet new dancers and welcome them into the community. Come dance and share in friendship together. Interested in sharing something in a class/seminar format? Let us know and we will help get you connected to share your talent at future socials.
