The Portland Swing Dance Club (PSDC) is dedicated to the enjoyment, preservation, and growth of West Coast Swing in the Northwest. We were founded in 1999 to share the fun and excitement of West Coast Swing and welcome anyone and everyone to come dance.
We host two dances a month— on the second and fourth Saturdays— to dance with friends and guests. Come dance West Coast Swing, Night Club Two Step, Hustle, and Latin to a variety of contemporary, blues, funk, and jazz that has the floor mixed with dancers of all levels and all ages.

We regularly hold Jack & Jill contests throughout the year. We normally schedule them around swing events like Easter Swing, Portland Dance Festival, and Bridge Town Swing to get people geared up for competitions! Jack & Jill competitions are great to participate in and spectate too! Randomly paired couples dance to randomly selected songs to test their skills as leads and follows.
