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, usually in Roble 113 9:30-11:30pm—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!

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!
