PhillyWestie is a local West Coast Swing group that organizes pop-up West Coast Swing social dances in Philly
What is West Coast Swing? West Coast Swing, also known as Modern Swing, is a super fun, super addictive form of partner dance. Originating in the 50s, west coast swing is characterized by its elastic, groovy, swanky vibe and dance partners play off of each other's creativity and improvisa
As we have previously shared during our last event on February 28th, 2026, Philly Westie will no longer be running monthly west coast swing socials.
Over the past several years, it has been an absolute joy to organize and host West Coast Swing socials in Philadelphia. Our goal was simple: to create a welcoming space where dancers of all backgrounds and experience levels could learn, connect, and enjoy West Coast Swing together. Philly Westie was a volunteer-run effort dedicated to bringing more social dancing opportunities to the city, and the enthusiasm and kindness of the community made that mission incredibly rewarding.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported us along the way, our volunteers, DJs, teachers, venue partners, and especially the dancers who showed up month after month to share the floor with us.
While Philly Westie will not be hosting additional events for the time being, the Philadelphia-area West Coast Swing community is still active and thriving, and we strongly encourage dancers to continue supporting other local events and organizations.
Our website will remain active for the time being as a platform to find these other local events through our shared Community Calendar and other relevant resources.
Thank you again to everyone who made this community special. We’re proud of what we built together and grateful for every dance we shared.
We hope to dance with you again soon,
The Philly Westie Team
Sharing an update from our dance last month: we were able to raise over $700+ at our last event!! Thank you all so so much for your support and for continuing to be a welcoming community for all dancers in the Philadelphia area 💛
We have split the proceeds in half and donated to both and two great organizations based in Philly supporting immigrant communities and families in need.
Once again thank you all for dancing with us, and we can't wait to see you on February 28th for our next dance!
