Louisiana Cajun Zydeco Fusion ~ Rochester Social Dancing

If you love to dance, or love great live music, we welcome you with open arms. Meet one of the most fun and friendly dance communities in and around Rochester ~ "Rochester Cajun Zydeco Network". We host music and dance events from and inspired by Cajun and Creole cultures of SW Louisiana to best assure dancers and music lovers get a great taste for what Louisiana can deliver.

The music is lively and addicting. Once you're turned on to the rhythmic sounds of Zydeco you can't let it go. The groove comes from way down south where we dance in the street to a bayou beat. And once we put our Mardi Gras beads around your neck, you’re one of the family.

Before you know it, you'll start looking forward to the dances and celebrating with others your new found love for the unique Louisiana form of music that makes you feel good all over

No experience necessary ... we'll teach you. We always provide a SURVIVAL ZYDECO DANCE LESSON at the beginning of our shows so you can learn the basics. We even have Dance Ambassadors who will come dance with you and encourage you throughout your learning curve. Once you have the basics down, you'll find infinite ways to get creative, develop your own style, and improvise within the dance ... so things always stay fresh and interesting.

While Zydeco Dance is partner dancing, you don’t need a partner. Come as a couple ~ Come solo ~ All are welcome. Everyone here delights in dancing with everyone else … it’s a hallmark of our dance community. Before long you'll be making new friends, learning new moves, and finding your swamp soul.

This meetup is organized completely by volunteers whose passion is Zydeco, Cajun, and Creole music and dancing in all its forms and styles. We’re here to make it easier for you to find and join the many dance events in our area and around the country ... and to get you dancing like you never thought you could.
