Why go to swing dance conventions?
Dance conventions are a great way to meet and dance with people from other parts of the country and experience different styles of swing dancing. Conventions attract top professional dancers as workshop instructors, competitors, and judges, so attendees have an opportunity to see, learn from, and even dance with the best. There are swing dance conventions all over the country, all year long. In addition to Boogie by the Bay, many of our members go to the Capital Swing Dancers convention (Sacramento) over Presidents’ Day weekend in February, the Greater Phoenix Swing Dance Club convention (Phoenix) over the 4th of July weekend, and the U.S. Open Swing Dance Championships over Thanksgiving weekend. Some Club members go to many other conventions throughout the year as well. Check our monthly calendar or our website for a list of upcoming conventions, and ask veteran dancers for recommendations of worthwhile events.
