//What is BendX? 
Bend’s West Coast Swing Event! Bend Connection is a whole series of West Coast Swing workshops, deep dives, competitions, and a TON of social dancing – all right on the Deschutes River to give you a beautiful view of Bend.
Our priority is CONNECTION. As West Coast Swing dancers we use this word a lot, but let’s take it one step farther. Connecting on a physical level person-to-person through a dance, an emotional level through late-night conversations or “early” morning coffee, connecting to fabulous pro instructors, and connecting to the Bend environment and local community!
Oh, and connecting new dancers to West Coast through our FREE beginner track!
