The Breakaway - Swing Dancing in Oakland

Join us every Tuesday night to learn how to do the original American club dance from the jazz era - the lindy hop!  Don't miss the opportunity to dance to great live music every last Tuesday of the month or to the expertise of local DJ's all other nights.

At the moment, we offer two levels of classes and are organized into monthly series. No partner required. Just wear comfy shoes and get ready for a fun night of dancing! Pssst! The first week the classes are drop-ins. Give it a try! Still not sure? We offer a taster class each week at 8:30 pm - included in the admission of the social dance night.

Our classes and dance party are held at the vintage Starline Social Club, just blocks away from downtown Oakland. Downstairs from the ballroom is a full bar with wide selection of drinks and food, making it a great night to mingling with new people or hanging out with friends or significant other.
