So, You Survived 2025.
Congratulations. Your reward for making it through another year? A chance to dance off all that cake (IYKYK). We’ve cooked up a January schedule so good, you’ll forget all about that new year’s resolution to “save money.” Instead, you’ll be fulfilling your new year’s resolution to “dance as much as humanly possible”*. Consider this an investment in your own awesomeness.
2025: A Year in Pixels
We ran the numbers, and it turns out you guys danced a lot. Like, a *lot* a lot. We’re not saying you have a problem, but the data speaks for itself. Here’s a look back at 2025, by the numbers. Imagine how much time you could have spent doing something else, like learning a new language, or walking your dog (or getting a dog). And then realize it was ALL worth it!
Your New Year’s Resolution, But Fun.
Ready to stop being a boring person? Good. Our courses are designed to take you from “I have two left feet” to “I own rent the dance floor” in four short weeks. This is where the magic happens. Don’t be a magician’s assistant. Be the magician.
 | Discover CharlestonThink you can’t dance? Watch us. Charleston is the ridiculously fun, upbeat dance that’s basically a party for your feet. Perfect for beginners who want to dive headfirst into the world of swing. No experience? No problem. It’s what we do. |
 | Discover Lindy HopThis is it. The big one. Your Lindy Hop origin story starts here. We’ll get you triple-stepping and swinging out like you were born in the wrong decade. If you’ve ever thought “I should learn to swing dance,” this is your sign. Stop thinking, start doing. |
 | Improve Swing Dancing – ModesYou’ve got the basics. Now, let’s make you look *good*. This month is all about ‘Modes’—the secret sauce to connecting Charleston, Lindy Hop, Balboa, Solo Jazz, and everything in between. Learn how to be psychic on the dance floor. |
 | Improve BalboaReady to get fancy? We’re diving deep into the Balboa rabbit hole. We’re talking new moves, more confidence, and the ability to look impossibly cool while dancing to music that’s way too fast. You in? |
 | Rhythm HoppersThe legend continues. Rhythm Hoppers is back, and we’re on the hunt for fresh faces. If you like new routines, new challenges, and being part of a team that’s slightly obsessed with dancing, you’ve found your people. Don’t just watch us, join us. |
 | Discover BalboaWelcome to the fast life. Balboa is the slick, smooth style born in SoCal for dancing to lightning-fast swing. If your feet have a need for speed, this is your jam. It’s so cool, you’ll feel like you’re in a black and white movie. |
Commitment Issues? We Get It.
Can’t commit to a full course? We feel you. That’s why we have drop-ins. Show up, dance, leave. It’s the perfect situationship for your dance life. No strings attached, just good times.

Reasons to Wear Real Pants This Month.
Listen, we get it. Leaving the house is hard. That’s why we’ve curated a list of events so good, you’ll actually want to put on real pants and venture out into the world. You’re welcome.
Free. Swing. Dance. Social.
Yes, you read that right. Free. As in, it costs you zero dollars. On Jan 30th, we’re taking over the AIA Vitality Hub for a night of free-for-all swing dancing. Your wallet can thank us later. Just show up and don’t be weird.
Santa Monica Social
Tacos and swing-outs. Name a better duo. We’ll wait. We’re crashing the Santa Monica Cantina again on Jan 6th. Come for the dancing, stay for the questionable decision to have one more margarita. It’s a proven formula.
Dai Pai Dong Social
Dancing in a Dai Pai Dong. Because… why not? Join us on Jan 24th for a social that’s a little different, a lot of fun, and 100% Hong Kong. You haven’t lived until you’ve swung out next to a noodle stand.
Your Monthly ‘Wow, I Should Practice More.’
This month, we’re showcasing the mind-blowing “Team COCO” routine by the one and only Meti Cho. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to be impossibly cool, this is it. Meti is a force of nature in the swing world, and this performance is a masterclass in style, creativity, and pure, unadulterated fun. Don’t just watch it, study it.
Speaking of Meti, the inaugural Deep Dive event is just around the corner. A unique blend of street and swing and a great place to work on your Authentic Solo Jazz.
