Annual Memberships are $20 and provide a discount on dance entry. Join now!

The city opens its doors for us at 5:00 PM. Admission is $5 for members or $10 for non-members. Non-members will need to sign the annual waiver, which can be done ahead of time (see below).

5:15 PM - 6:15 PM: West Coast Swing lesson
6:15 PM - 8:45 PM: open dancing to a mix of music.

Start with a lesson to get you started and help fine-tune your skills, then have fun with us on the dance floor with music to dance mostly West Coast Swing, plus some Night Club 2 Step, East Coast Swing, and Hustle.

Wavier/Membership Requirement: We strongly encourage you to buy your annual membership or sign the annual waiver of liability (for non-members) now to save time.

NO FOOD OR OPEN BEVERAGE CONTAINERS are allowed on the dance floor per the facility owners. Sealed water bottles are permitted. Any food or other beverages must be kept and consumed at the tiled entrance or outside the doors. A water fountain is available by the restrooms. Dance wax and powder are not allowed on the dance floor (it's an amazing floor). Thank you for your compliance and for helping maintain our facility's high quality.

Shoes & Apparel

The dress standard is typically a fairly casual night out. Examples can be seen on this website and our Facebook Group page. Shorts are perfectly acceptable and more comfortable on warmer days, though perhaps not the norm. Best not to come straight from the beach as this is a close-quarters (aromatic environment) body contact (think blouse or shirt) activity.

Suede-soled (ballroom) shoes are best and preferred. Leather-soled or other smooth-bottomed shoes that can pivot can work well. It is best to avoid shoes that do not have a heel or ankle attachment, such as sandals. Tennis shoes while non-ideal, are perfectly acceptable especially when new and trying things out. Ballroom shoes can be purchased at various places online, or the Arthur Murray dance studio at the Ala Moana Mall has a limited selection of women's shoes available.

Located at the Palladium

404 Kapahulu Ave., Honolulu, 96815

Dances are held at the Ala Wai Palladium, on the 2nd floor of the Ala Wai Golf Course Clubhouse. A map can be found at the bottom of this page.

Take the short access road, alongside the Waikiki Public Library, straight into the FREE PARKING lot. Then, go UP to the huge WOOD 2nd-floor ballroom. The Palladium has the largest dance floor here in the islands with 11,000 square feet for the full ballroom. In case you're lost, a security guard will be on the premises.
