Philly Zydeco (former Louisiana Swing Dancing around Philly)

If you love to dance, or love great live music, we welcome you with open arms. Meet one of the most fun and friendly communities in and around Philadelphia. Philly Zydeco encompasses Cajun, zydeco, and Creole music. 

The music is lively and addicting. The groove comes from way down south where we dance street to a bayou beat. And once we put our Mardi Gras beads around your neck, you’re one of the family. 

You don’t need any experience, we will teach you. The basics are easy to learn. 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 will find infinite ways to get creative, develop your own style, and improvise within the dance. So things always stay fresh and interesting. 

This is partner dancing but you don’t need a partner. Everyone here delights in dancing with everyone else … it’s a hallmark of our dance mentality. Before long you will 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. Let the good times roll!
