The Lindy Calendar is curated by Brian Shim and Juliann Budimir as a service to the LA/OC swing dance community. While we take great care to find and enter the information on the calendar, we do not guarantee its accuracy. Please check with the venues themselves by consulting their website or Facebook Page, or by calling them directly before traveling to an event.
Please report errors in the comment section above. For a quick guide to which swing dance venue is best for you, check out this article.
It’s been very tough times for all of us, with our dance studios suffering more than most. If you consider the joy that dance has brought to your life, would you please consider donating to keep our beloved SOHO Dance LA alive? Thank you!

Hello
I just came to LA and I’m looking for a social place.
Can you tell me where we run on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday?
I want to learn Balboa but I want to know where the class is
Hi Jabble,
See the Lindy Calendar on this page for swing dance events throughout the LA area. These are particularly good for newcomers:

Brian
I believe LindyGroove has an on-going Balboa class.
