About Our Chapter
A welcoming, volunteer-run community introducing ballroom, swing, and Latin dancing to Northwest Pennsylvania.
Chapter 3032 — Erie, PA
We proudly introduce ballroom, swing, and Latin dancing to Northwest Pennsylvania through our monthly social dance gatherings, regular lessons, and special workshops.
Here, all are warmly welcomed, regardless of skill level. Whether you've danced your whole life or are curious for the first time, you'll find a community eager to share what they know and learn alongside you.
The chapter is run by a volunteer board of dancers who care deeply about keeping ballroom dance vibrant and accessible in our region.
