What we’re about
Welcome to our Dance Family!
Are you looking for a new activity where you can combine exercise with meeting new people? Try Swing dancing!
The San Diego Dancers Meetup offers you the opportunity to meet new people--both singles and married couples--who share the same interest and passion for dancing--and have a desire to learn how to dance. We are a group of active individuals who love dancing, and most of all, HAVING FUN!!! All ability levels are welcome to our events. No partner needed!
We provide "friendly" dance venues where you can dance to a variety of music ranging from West Coast Swing to East Coast Swing to Night Club to Latin and Ballroom.
Our commitment is to help create a "safe" atmosphere that encourages dancers--both singles and married couples--to put time, energy, and love into their Swing, Night Club, Latin and Ballroom dancing. Besides our scheduled dances, we also provide resources for current dance classes for those who want to learn how to do swing dance or want to improve their dancing skills. We are also honored to have Mary Manzella on board as our "official" Dance Director. As a National Swing Dance Champion and past judge at National Swing Dance competitions, she brings a wealth of dancing knowledge to our group.
So until we meet, "Dance with Rhythm...Dance with Style!"
OUR CORE VALUES are INCLUSIVENESS, DIVERSITY & RESPECT. They are our guiding principles which we embrace the diversity of our members and their talents and ideas. We actively strive and sustain an environment of acceptance and foster respect among all of our members regardless of background, race, gender, values, sexual orientation & religion.

See all- Bachata FusionDance With Liza, San Diego, CA
Come learn one of the most popular and sensual Latin dances in San Diego with Mark and Liza. It's labeled bachata fusion because we will use a variety of music and incorporate creative styling. In addition to basic patterns, we'll also teach leading, following, connection, and fundamental Latin motion. We’ll also teach some basic Salsa patterns to prepare you for our parties. Partner encouraged, but not required. Bachata can be danced to a variety of slow songs for weddings and special events. There are also numerous places to Salsa and Bachata dance in San Diego. Come see how fun Latin dancing can be! Here is some inspiration (until we make our own video!)
