Looking for East Coast Swing Lessons/dancers that dance the American Bandstand style. Not sure if that is the classic East Coast Swing, please let me know if different from what you teach.
If same I would love to join in.
Hi Lynn,
I’ve never heard of the American Bandstand style of East Coast Swing, but check out this page for East Coast and Lindy lessons:

Hi, I’d like to take my wife to a big swing dance competition. By that I mean, a big prize money one, where the contestants are all….. amazing. Do such things still happen in Los Angeles? I’m willing to wait for the biggest, most over-the-top competitors. (Yes, trying to re-live something that I saw 25 years ago.) Any suggestions?
Hi Todd,
The one you want is Camp Hollywood: https://www.swingdance.la/camp-hollywood/
You won’t be disappointed!

Thanks Brian!

Thank you! This is really helpful.
Hi! I’m traveling from Ohio and I am absolutely vaccinated and boosted. I attended Pittstop which had the same requirement…however I don’t have a copy of my original vax cards. I can see whether I have them…I am fairly confident that I have virtual proof of my booster from November. I am not due for another booster until March, however I did get a mild case of COVID in mid-january in LA. I am a speech therapist. Thoughts? I’m a dancer who runs a community event in Columbus so I completely understand the need to make guidelines/follow through. Let me know what you need and I’ll do my best to get it to you on Thursday! Crossing fingers and toes as we still only have biweekly dances (once a month blues and fusion and once a month blues and swing).
Oh, by the way, is there somewhere where we can volunteer? I can’t believe you’re running a weekly dance by yourself!
Hi Lauren,
I don’t know of any L.A. venues that require vaccination anymore, so you should be good.
I don’t actually run a dance; I just run this dance website for the L.A. swing dance community!
But, most of the venues could use volunteers; just ask the folks running them.
Best,
Brian
This was on Facebook from Nick Williams. Bobby McGees is this Sunday not the 14th.
Many thanks Bridgette!! I’ll update the calendar! – Brian
Hello! I’m a swing musician originally from New York City, now based in nashville. I’m going to be in the LA area in April doing some honky tonk gigs but I would also love to do some swing gigs while I’m in town. My stage name is Sweet Megg and I’ve been playing for dancers for a long time, I also work with Postmodern Jukebox. If anyone knows any swing dance gigs let me know!
Welcome! I hope you find some gigs while you’re here! You might also try posting on this Facebook group:

JSYK the Friday, Dec 17 link in the main calendar says Lil Mo and the Dynaflos are at Burbank Moose Lodge. But when you click on the link, the text above the flyer that appears says Mayflower Club. That might be confusing for readers. I had to dig further to confirm that they are at BML and not the Maylfower. Tnx!
Many thanks for the correction Gil! I’ve been mixing up those two venues lately.
Thanks again,
Brian
You’re welcome. And I’m YEARS late in saying it, but thank you for all of your time and effort that you have put into creating this calendar, and all the time and effort you make to maintain it! It is the best resource for swing dancing around. We Angelinos/Angelinas are lucky to have it : )
Many thanks Gil! It’s awesome to hear that!

Hi Brian,
On Sunday afternoons Godmother’s in San Pedro often plays western swing and has a small dance floor. Fun venue in general and ESPECIALLY when James Intveld is playing…which he does often. I noticed that this venue wasn’t listed on the calendar…?
Here’s a link: https://www.godmotherssanpedro.com/live-music
Many thanks Galvan! I got the 10/15 James Intveld show up on the calendar. If the organizer or someone could submit the event on my home page, that would be great!
