Announcing our first dance competition!!!THE SLOW DOWN THROW DOWN!
A swing dance competition… but make it SASSY.
We’re bringing something new to Slow Ass Swing Social (SASS) — a fun, friendly competition that celebrates musicality, connection, and pure groove. This isn’t about speed or tricks — it’s about style, expression, and that delicious slow swing flavor.
Any style welcome — Lindy Hop, West Coast, Slow Drag, Fusion, whatever moves you.
Enter solo or with a partner.
Judges will be watching for creativity, groove, and connection (not just fancy footwork).
Prizes, bragging rights, a t-shirt and Prize Medallion.
Because slowing down doesn’t mean holding back.
Let’s make this the fiercest, most joyful swing showdown in Portland.
Planning on a dance comp all odd months (that's 6 a year!!)
