Attendance
Our dances typically attract around 50 people throughout the course of the evening, around a third of whom are community members. Many students are beginners, so experienced dancers are encouraged to come! Everyone is welcome!
Lessons
We do not have a specific time block for lessons before our dances, but our callers teach starting from a beginner level. You do not need any prior experience to come!
Music/Calling
We typically bring in professional callers and bands from the greater Los Angeles area or use student bands. If you are interested in calling or playing for us, please let us know!
Food/Drinks
We offer free refreshments from Trader Joe's during our breaks. Most of our venues have a water fountain nearby.
