All Star SwingJam is back!!!!
We are a West Coast Swing event with the goal of providing opportunities to the next generation of champion dancers while offering attendees an outstanding experience to move them further on the path to their dance goals. All of our instructors and DJ's are All Star level competitors who are dedicated to growing their communities, promoting the dance, and constantly improving their knowledge and understanding of swing. They bring a wide variety of backgrounds and training that makes each one of them a unique and engaging addition to our staff. Each year we handpick from among the All Star division, looking for those who are most committed to bettering our communities.
