Social dancing at Worlds is the most outstanding dance experience you’ll find anywhere. The party begins every night by 9 PM in the UC Corral and the Blues Café!
Swing & Country Ballroom
The Swing & Country Ballroom will feature a mix of traditional and popular country tunes in the early evening. As the night goes on, West Coast Swing will take over the mix into the late night and early morning, but our DJ’s will take requests for all styles all night. No matter what music is playing, you’ll have the opportunity to dance with friends from around the world!
