WEEKLY WEST COAST SWING SOCIAL DANCING Meet and dance with a diverse group of friendly people from across the Washington DC area and beyond. This area has long been home to one of the countries largest and most diverse social dance communities. West Coast Swing has become very popular here over the last decade. Cherry Hill has hosted weekly social dancing for over 13+ years and remains a centerpiece of the community. Many of the regulars have been dancing here for years.

Sodas & snacks are served during the dance. You may bring your own alcohol beverages. Smoking is not allowed indoors.
There is lots of easy, free parking.

The conference center is located in an RV park campground. It's important that dancers entering and exiting the park drive slowly and quietly so we don't disturb the campers.
