About Us
Santa Cruz Swing began in response to the growing interest and excitement the Santa Cruz community has shown for swing dancing.
The teachers and those who have supported SC Swing have been swing dancing for over a decade and want to share the silly, playful, cool, and fun nature of the dance.
We dance on Thursday nights at the 418 Project in downtown Santa Cruz: 155 River St S, Santa Cruz, CA 95060
New 5-Week Lindy Hop Series!
July 10th - August 7th, 2025

Social Dances & Live Band Nights
During our series we host social dances from 8:00pm - 9:30pm immediately following the dance lessons at the 418 Project.
Students from the lessons get into the dances for free.
Dancers from the general public are welcome to join as well, for $5 during a regular DJ'd social, and $10 If we have a band.
