Welcome to the Southern California Community Dance Coalition (SCCDC)!
Hey friends! The California Dance Co-operative now has a new name!
As of 2025, all of our contra dances are called “California Twirl” to reflect the excitement, joy, and welcoming we experience.
Who we are
We’re a non-profit organization that promotes the study, preservation, and enjoyment of traditional and historical dance of the United States, Canada, and the British Isles.
Our vision is to preserve and further the enjoyment of traditional dance in community settings.
Our dances are held in comfortable social settings throughout Southern California and feature mostly live music. Newcomers are welcome and there are lessons available prior to many dances. You do not need a partner to join us. Comfortable soft-soled shoes are recommended. We look forward to seeing you at the dance!

Help us keep this dance alive and thriving!
SCCDC is run by volunteers. All of the money we raise goes to providing a wonderful dance experience and bringing in great talent. Our dances feature expert callers and wonderful live music played by talented musicians, and you can hear them thanks to our sublime sound engineers. We also have to pay for the hall, refreshments, supplies, maintenance, insurance, website, promotional materials, and other costs.
