Cloudland Dance

Welcome to Cloudland Dance!

Cloudland Dance is a decade-long dream in the making…Founders Lauren Smith and Peter Flahiff have dreamt of running their own dance school since they first teamed up in 2014. They share a vision of a relaxed and friendly spot for dancers to come enjoy quality classes and evening social dances. Cloudland is a welcoming and diverse dance home for any and all who want to learn, with a commitment to the rich history of the music and dances of the Swing Era and beyond.

Our goal is to bring swing dancing to our local, national, and global dance communities, to create a safe space of engagement for dancers of all levels from beginner to professional, to educate and learn, socialize and share, and grow together. We focus on educating people about the diverse history of the swing dances, many of which are historically Black American Dance styles and we want to honor and respect those roots.
