First time at PSDC? First time dancing? We've got you!

Dancing = Movement. If you put a lot of dancers in the same room it will get toasty 🥵

We recommend trying something a few times so you can figure out how it feels in your body, and then ask questions!

The social dance is where the magic happens!
Make new friends.
Try what you learned in class.
Create a new move. Be silly.
Let the excellent jazz music inspire you.

Be conscientious and take care of your community.

Our FREE Open House is less than a week away!
7-8pm Beginner Lindy Hop lesson.
8-10pm Live music & Dancing.

Chelsea Reed is a jazz vocalist, arranger, composer, and bandleader living in Philadelphia. In October 2012, she invited a few friends over to play for some dancers in a South Philly living room. Since that fateful day, she’s been singing and playing for audiences all over the world and adding band members along the way as the leader of the Fair Weather Band.
With four albums and a decade of touring under their belts, Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Band continue to bring the soul of a dance to any show—whether at a jazz club, backroom blues bar, or festival stage. They have shared a bandstand with trumpeter Terell Stafford and trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, who is featured on their 2017 release Spreadin’ Rhythm Around. Their 2020 release, Carolina Lullaby showcases original songs steeped in jazz, blues, and folk traditions where Reed’s soaring vocals and swing musicality shine. In 2023, she released The Christmas EP, a collection of swinging holiday standards with her mini big band, the 10 piece orchestra Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Nine.
Reed and her bandmates draw upon the intensity of powerhouse vocalists, the ingenuity of 20th century composers, and the soul of the dance floor. They are silly, passionate people who love playing this music. And that’s all there is to it.

In case we haven't planned enough for September... we'll be dancing to the incredible Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Band !!!
