Sometimes people tell us they've been following us virtually for years. And when they decide to come for their first time, their only regret is not coming sooner! So if you've been on the fence about learning to dance in Downtown Morgantown, you know where to find us:

Come have fun with us on Tuesdays at Swing Dance Night, where friendships are formed. You can come with your friends or meet new ones there. You don't need any experience or even a partner. We'll teach you everything you need to have you moving and grooving in no time.

👋Hi! We're the Morgantown Swing Dance Community. More than moves, we make memories!

🥳Guided Swing Dance Party for everyone!
🗓️Tuesdays at 7pm
📍 Monongalia Arts Center, 107 High Street
🫰Community-funded! Entry for a small donation ($1-10)

🤠Also this Thursday 10/1, catch the dance lesson before the Wayne Hancock show at 123 Pleasant Street (No class at Andrew White Guitars that evening)

🎃 Okay, this special event is going to be a little weird. In the best possible way.

We're getting together October 3 for a Halloween party with Ryan Cain & The Ables, a vintage B-movie, hot rods, haunted mansions, and plenty of excuses to show up in costume.

Come dressed as your favorite creature, character, cryptid, or questionable life choice.
🧟🦞🧙

Hang out. Watch the movie. Listen to some rockabilly. Dance if the music gets you moving.
No costume? Not much of a dancer? No problem. Just come for the vibes and have a good night with us. 🦇👻

🎃 Saturday, October 3

Are we dancing on Tuesday? Why yes we are! And you can join us too at our weekly Guided Swing Dance Party.

If you don't see yourself as a coordinated person, there's no need to worry. Our Tuesdays are designed to get you dancing with the sidewalk travelling experience you came in with. Dancing gets better with practice, so if you're having fun and coming back, you'll see self-improvement day-to-day.

Even if you're not as perfect as you want to be, you'll still get high-fives, feel wins big and small, and leave with more ability than you came in with. Our no-stress nights are casual, fun, and full of friendly people. The hardest part about learning to dance is just getting yourself there he first time.
