No partner or experience is required, just show up with comfortable shoes. We would love to dance with you!
April Class Series (4 weeks)
We do not offer drop-ins in class series. So make sure to register for the monthly class series before the first session starts.
Plant Swap
Like a clothing swap, except you bring your plant babies. Adult plants are okay, too!
During the dance party, we will have a place to share plants. Our recommendations include: indoor plants, small outdoor plants, plant cuttings, herbs, flowers, and succulents. Even bring your struggling plants! Our collective knowledge may be able to help you revitalize them! You can also bring related things you'd like to part with, such as small gardening tools, plant pots and containers, and watering cans.
We do not recommend bringing dirt and soil to prevent any messes.
Volunteering
Want to get these lessons for free? We have volunteering opportunities to get you into the dance and lesson(s) for free. Subscribe to volunteer email list via this form.

Led by saxophonist and dancer Sean Krazit, the Juniper Jazz Band was made to play for dancers. The band specializes in small group swing and finds inspiration from the music of Johnny Hodges, Lester Young, and other greats of the 1920s-40s. Featuring musicians from around the Bay Area, the Juniper Jazz Band is ready to get your feet moving!
