Sultry Swing has been throwing amazing Country Dance Socials for years and we are so thankful to be able to continue doing so at the Goldcoast Ballroom!!! Our parties are the most fun for you when they are filled with all of your dance friends and favorite dance partners so please take the time to make sure all yours are coming.
Our socials are definitely Country inspired, with 75% of the music being country, but we also have plenty of dancing for those coming from the Ballroom and/or WCS worlds that want to join us. We play 50 songs in an evening with 15 being Country 2-step, 10 being West Coast Swing, 5 Waltz, 4 Cha Cha, 3 Nightclub 2-step, 2 East Coast Swing, 2 Salsa, 2 Hustle, 2 Rumba, and 3 Novelty Dances.
Our socials are also amazing in that you don't need a partner to come and have a great time! Between the 7 songs being a part of mixers and the 3 novelty dances, you will have the chance to be dancing 10 songs during the night without even being asked to dance and with most of the dancers in attendance dancing around, there is a great chance that you will be up and dancing a lot more than that!
Our socials also have a great Country 2-step group class beforehand to pick up a new move or two to add to your repertoire. If you are new to Country 2-step, no worries, the first 15 minutes each night is focused on the basic 4 moves you need to know to dance Country 2-step all night long. The remaining 45 minutes of the class is a beyond beginner level routine perfect for use on the social dance floor.

John Harris' Dance Story
When I was 15, my Dad left my Mother. For about a year my Mom was a complete mess until she ran into a dance studio named “Dance Connection”. It was not a place filled with the prettiest or wealthiest of people, it was just filled with some of the nicest, caring people you ever will meet. I will tell you that the family my Mother created with the members of that studio saved her from her misery. They danced together, they would get together on holidays and celebrate together, they would even get together to help move each other, they were a dance family.
Fast forward several years and I was turning 20. I was a shy kid with very little self-confidence when it came to meeting new people or having conversations with groups of people (some of that had to do with the awkwardness of going through high-school at 6’4″ and rail thin and part of it had to do with the fact that I’m half deaf). My Mother, looking for a second miracle, pushed me into going to “Dance Connection” (I was more than a bit unwilling, as I was told frequently by people that I lacked talent in dance) with the hope that I would be able to make some new friends.
Over the next 6 months, I spent every single night dancing there, followed by a trip after class to a local country dance bar for social dancing afterwards. Not only did I meet some awesome individuals and find plenty of self-confidence I also became quite the dancer. I had found a dance family of my own. We would dance together, eat together, sometimes we’d go on vacations together, it was everything I needed, it was my miracle.
Now fast forward almost 30 years, I have closed my dance studio of 14 years and now am an independent instructor. I hope I have been and will continue to be even close to as successful in creating an atmosphere that will allow each of you to find your dance family as Grant Austin’s Dance Connection down in Fort Lauderdale did for me and my Mom.

Going there once a week, but after 3 visits, I'm planning on going 2 or 3x a week now.
Super great place to dance...I had never danced before and the instructors were super nice as were the other dancers...lots of great experienced dancers but friendly toward anyone wanting to share in the fun. I had a blast!!!
Great vibe, large dance floor, excellent sound system, bring a sweater because there air conditioning works!, lots of friendly and good dancers, friendly owners. The music for the parties always keep me dancing. Free snacks provided.
Love this and appreciate place already! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. Very humble, just my kind of environment. I recommend taking Johns class for West Coast Swing, Night Club 2 Step, oh and don't forget to stay for the mixer AND Social Dancing! ☺️ Always something to look forward too, if you love Ballroom Dancing (Waltz, Foxtrot, WCS, Two Step and the list goes on) ☺️
Love Sultry Swing and love taking classes with John! He is super patient and classes are fun. Looking for something different to do - definitely get some Dancing in! Great for the Mind & Soul ����
What a great place to dance! We had a wonderful night of ballroom dancing. The mini-lesson was fun and interesting. John creates a warm and inviting atmosphere with a great music selection. We'll definitely be back.
