This unique 3-day event started 21 years ago, in a Senior Center in the Antelope Valley, with the belief that “If you build it, they will come”. Our vision was to create a dance event that was affordable, FUN, and with an excellent staff that reached dancers of all ages. Our event is special, fun-filled, and stress-free.
High Desert Dance Classic has successfully merged the communities of West Coast swing, ballroom, Latin, salsa, bachata, hustle, country two-step, and lindy all under one roof. This dynamic event includes amazing workshops, competitions, beginner boot camps, special performances, and even late-night dancing. There truly is something for everyone!
One of the most extraordinary parts of our event is our Dance Force Youth Ballroom Program, which features over 500 students graders 4th grade through 12th grade competing in ballroom dance and representing their schools. There is nothing more exciting than watching this event on Saturday and Sunday morning and cheering on your favorite couple!
