Where to Dance

In addition to our two monthly dances, there are also other great opportunities to dance West Coast Swing in Portland.

The Paradise Ballroom offers a Wednesday night West Coast Swing fix to the latest tunes. Make sure to check out their calendar for lesson and DJ information.

Friday Night Fever kicks off the first Friday of the month (typically in the months of September through June, Bob and Michelle go fishing in the summer) with a mix of variety in addition to West Coast Swing.

Ballroom/WCS Sunday Nights
Come dance WCS from 7-10 every Sunday night at the Ambassador Ballroom. Cover is $5, which will get you into the WCS room and the ballroom/latin party (held simultaneously). Kathy LaVeine teaches an intermediate WCS lesson from 6-7 which requires separate registration or additional drop-in fee. All ages are welcome and snacks / refreshments are provided.
