What is Swing Violation?
Swing Violation is a quarterly crossover dance event where West Coast Swing meets other dance styles in unexpected ways. Each event features WCS fused with a rotating guest style — Brazilian Zouk, Argentine Tango, Lindy Hop, Blues, and more.
We create a space for experimentation with multiple rooms, crossover classes, and a merged dance floor where styles flow together as the night progresses. Whether you're a WCS dancer curious about other styles, or a multi-style dancer looking to bring your full range to the floor, you're welcome here.
Why "Swing Violation"?
In WCS competitions, judges call a "Swing Violation" when less than 75% of a routine is West Coast Swing. We're playfully reclaiming the term — because sometimes the most interesting dancing happens when you break the rules.
