Welcome to Dancebreak!

What is Dancebreak?

Dancebreak is a social dancing club for the Stanford community, featuring a variety of dance styles with a focus on waltz and swing! Come learn how to dance, hang out with our campus’s largest social dancing crew, practice styles taught in Richard Powers’s Social Dance class series, learn new moves, and have fun with us. No dance experience or partner needed.

We dance every Monday night, but the location and time are subject to change—the best way to keep up is through our mailing list. Join us for social dancing, classes, snacks, and community!

If you don’t know how to dance, we teach lessons every week! See the list of workshops for details, or take a peek at the schedule for the next few weeks below. Check out our FAQ if you have more questions!

Upcoming Lessons and Dances

No need to come with a partner—we rotate partners often in class! Each lesson is followed by a two-hour DJed dance social, either in the same location or nearby.

Beginner lessons (bolded) are for everyone—no dance experience necessary! Practice what you learned by staying for the dance social, immediately after the beginner lesson.

Intermediate lessons are for those who already know the basics and want to learn new skills or just get more practice!
