YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH "HAPPY"
Thanks to so many fun and happy dancers DCSX is one one of the most fun West Coast Swing occasions ever. It takes tons of team work and "community" to bring so many parts together in just the right way. Come enjoy a well-planned with nearly flawless execution, uncompromised social dancing with inspiring music and a show that always manages to be both hysterical and impressive at the same time. It's so much fun!
