An exciting collaboration is in the works with our friends at Concierge Ballroom!❣️ Concierge Ballroom presents Swingadelphia 2025!
Join us for a brand new event in the heart of Philadelphia! Swingadelphia is a newly created concept by Concierge Ballroom, dedicated to the love of learning West Coast Swing. While many WSDC events are a catch all for all types of West Coast Swing dancers, we aim to create an event focused on providing expert guidance and feedback for Jack & Jill competitions.
Our inaugural event will feature Champions, Arjay Centeno and Erica Smith!
❣️ Philly Westie is partnering up with Concierge Ballroom to host the Evening Social Dance to cap off the full day of events!
The Philly Westie social will be our standard social dance, starting off with a complimentary Beginner Lesson from 8PM to 9PM and social dancing from 9PM to Midnight! If you purchase the full day pass for Swingadelphia, you automatically get entry for the social dance, otherwise, we'll take payments at the door!
❣️ Walk-in Pricing:
“Switch it Up” Class w/ Erica + Social: $35 (regular) / $30 (students)
Beginner WCS Class + Social: $20 (regular) / $15 (students)

⭐ So you think you have two left feet?
We got you! Come join our complimentary beginner lesson from 8pm-9pm. We'll show you which is your right foot!!
⭐ Need some hydration?
Social dancing is BYOB. You bring your elixir to stay "hydrated" and we'll provide the source of life... water
⭐ Gender identity and dance roles
As a de-gendered dance form, anyone regardless of gender identity is welcome to lead, follow, or switch! A number of us do both roles and it's twice the fun! As such, it's totally ok to dance with someone of the same gender - the only rule is: one leads and the other follows! (otherwise it won't work :))
⭐ Should I bring my entourage?
Come by yourself or with your peeps! Since west coast swing is a social dance, you'll make friends regardless if you show up solo or with your entourage!
⭐ What should I wear?
Wear whatever you are comfortable moving in. Closed-toed shoes are preferred just in case you get stepped on! (this is partner dancing after all) Additionally, non-grippy shoes can be helpful for spinning and moving on the floor!
⭐ What are the rates?
“Switch it Up” Class w/ Erica + Social: $35 (regular) / $30 (students)
Beginner WCS Class + Social: $20 / $15 (students)
Cash or Venmo accepted at the door.
Swingadelphia Day Pass Rates can be found at the link above.
⭐ What is West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing, also known as Modern Swing, is a super fun, super addictive form of partner dance. Originating in the 50s, west coast swing is characterized by its elastic, groovy, swanky vibe and dance partners play off of each other's creativity and improvisation with the music. It can be danced to a huge variety of music including pop, hip-hop, blues, instrumental, urban, etc.
To get a sense of what West Coast Swing looks like, here are some clips by current world champions (look how much fun they had while improvising with their dance partners and with the music!):
