Swing Dancing in the hub

We’re Dirty Water West Coast Swing, a monthly west coast swing dance in Greater Boston. Run by locals, for locals (and friends passing through), we strive to provide a top-quality experience for our dance community. With a mix of international professionals and home-grown talent, we throw a party every month that is not to be missed.

Dances are held on the second Saturday of the month at the George Dilboy VFW Post in Somerville, MA unless otherwise noted.

We’re back at it post-Boston Tea Party with a FRIDAY night dance in April! The VFW is booked on our usual Saturday, but they’ve graciously offered us the space on Friday, April 11th instead. Join local pros Alli Reese & Maxwell Thew for two hours of terrible puns (and perhaps some educational dance content) in the intermediate/advanced classes, or try out west coast swing for the first time with Joe Mahoney.

We have residential neighbors at this venue who appreciate their sleep and their resident-only parking spots. Please monitor your volume outside of the venue and take care not to park in marked resident spots or on the left-hand side of the garage (the right side is safe after the hours posted on the signs).
