Swing Swap is a casual dance activity where new dancers can practice their basics and experienced dancers can try out new moves. But like social dances, Swing Swap is NEVER a place to offer unrequested feedback, criticism or evaluation.

Swing Fling by Dance Jam Productions!

The DC area’s Summertime West Coast Swing Dance Party. It’s a celebration with fun contests for amateurs, dozens of daytime workshops, amazing professional performances and four “dance ’til dawn” all night parties. If you have never attended a West Coast Swing weekend event, this is a great first event to check out! Many central Virginia and CSDS dancers will be attend each year, and there will be plenty of welcoming and friendly dancers to connect with. You can find all the details and register online at the Swing Fling website.
