Welcome!

Join us for a weekend of exceptional West Coast Swing dancing! Each year, we strive to deliver an exceptionally entertaining weekend, and this year will be no exception!

Rose City Swing invites you to join us for an entertaining weekend of dancing and good fun. Come for the comps, come for the workshops, come for the social dancing, come for a great time! We welcome dancers from all over the country (and the world) to Tigard (Portland metropolitan area), Oregon, in a comfortable, inclusive dance setting that’s friendly and fun for all!

Our 2025 Theme: Dance to the Music!

This year, the focus is on expressing yourself through musicality.

Learn how musical concepts, like tempo, phrasing and mood, help you connect with the music and each other, creating a way of dancing to the music that is uniquely you! Participants will receive workshops that are aimed at developing and enhancing their musical interpretations — individually and in partnerships.

On Saturday evening, join us as we go Dancing Through the Ages! Our DJs will be spinning a curated mix of timeless West Coast Swing hits from every decade of WCS. Come dressed “in style” from your favorite decade!

Rose City Swing offers everyone a fun-filled weekend that includes*:

Unique RCS Comps: our popular Doppleganger Strictly, Switch-It-Up Strictly, You Got Served contest & more
Inspirational Champions J&J
Free Workshops
Premium Intensives*
Free BYOBeginner Workshop & Social
Late Night Switch & Steals Room

…and more!

Did we mention the hours and hours of social dancing?

*Competitions & Intensives: Additional entry fees apply.
