West Coast Swing North County 

West Coast Swing North county, aka, Westie Jam, was founded by Mike Anderson, who wanted to give back to the West Coast swing dance community in San Diego County for all the joy it brought him for years. He did this by starting the West Coast Swing North County dance venue continuing a tradition of quality West Coast swing dance lessons, classes, parties and music. This NEW West Coast swing venue one Friday a month fills a gap in North County for swing dancers in SoCal.
