Welcome to Dancebreak!

A crowded room full of Stanford students dancing.

What is Dancebreak?

Dancebreak is a weekly, free, DJed casual social dancing event for the Stanford community, featuring a variety of dance styles with a focus on waltz and swing! Come 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, usually in Roble 113 7-9pm (but this is extremely subject to change—the best way to keep up is through our mailing list). Join us for social dancing, classes, snacks, and community!
