Santa Rosa’s spot for West Coast Swing
About Downtown Swing
We opened Downtown Swing in July of 2022 with the goal of having a great safe spot, downtown, for West Coast Swing in Santa Rosa. We wanted to bring in top instructors for current dancers to learn from, as well as welcome in new faces and share our love for West Coast Swing with beginner classes as well. Since opening, more than just Santa Rosa has come out; we have dancers traveling from all over the SF Bay area and beyond to dance and learn weekly with us.
Classes
We offer beginner and intermediate classes weekly from 7:30-8:30pm. No partner is required for either level. Jason and Jessica Taylor typically teach the beginner class, and we have guest All-Star/Champion teachers for the intermediate class. Classes are $10
Social Dance Party
Practice what you learned in the lesson, or just come for the social dance party from 8:30-11:00pm in the main ballroom. We have a live DJ each week and a great community who would love to dance with you! $10 Dance only
Private Lessons
Love West Coast Swing and want some one-on-one instruction? We can connect you with any of our local & semi-local professional instructors. We also offer other styles and Wedding Dance preparation.
