About Swing in the South Bay

Swing in the South Bay debuted in San Jose, California in 2010.
Joanna Meinl, West Coast Swing instructor, performer, choreographer and All-Star/Champion level competitor, decided that she wanted to bring together Bay Area teachers, dancers and DJ's by offering an all day West Coast Swing event that was easily accessible, with fun workshops from the top Bay Area Pros, Jack and Jill contests and late night social dancing with the best DJ’s in town.
We look forward to seeing you at Swing in the South Bay! Happy dancing!
