Jan, 25, 4pm to 7pm, Tea Dance – Dance Eclectic in Sellwood
Dancing with Joy Studios – 8051 SE 16th Ave, Portland, OR
Dance: Suggested $15. No one turned away (No Lesson)

We’re excited to add a new event to our monthly Dance Eclectic schedule — a Fourth Sunday afternoon Tea Dance at Dancing with Joy Studios in the heart of Sellwood. Just 10 minutes from the Terwilliger exit off I-5, this charming studio is the perfect setting for a relaxed yet vibrant end-of-weekend dance.
Inspired by the vintage era of Swing and Ballroom, when Sunday tea dances were a cherished social ritual, this time slot (4–7 PM) gives you the best of both worlds: a chance to arrive at a dance in the light of day, head home at a reasonable hour, and start the new week refreshed.

Sellwood’s cozy, village-like atmosphere also makes it easy to grab a bite before or after, making this more than just a dance — it’s a full experience.

Music by DJ Dennis Myers: Expect a warm, inviting mix of Waltz, Swing, Two Step, Latin, and Alternative Tango — a signature Casual Ballroom Eclectic blend that welcomes dancers of all styles and backgrounds.
We’re looking forward to building a new tradition in the Portland dance community — and we hope you’ll be part of it.

Feb. 1, 2026- Sunday Dance Eclectic at Fulton Park C.C. 68 SW Miles St,


(Just a few minutes off the Terwilliger !-5 exit)
Lesson & Time to be determined
Dance: Suggested $15. No one turned away

Dance Eclectic is back at Fulton Park Community Center for our First Sunday monthly dances! We’re thrilled to include this beloved venue in our regular rotation. From 2008 to 2019, Fulton Park was a favorite among our dancers — and for good reason. Dancers love the classic charm of the building, the cozy yet spacious interior, and the welcoming atmosphere. Even better — the dance floor, which was a concern when we left, has been beautifully refinished! It now rivals the quality of the floor at North Hall.
While there’s no lesson this Sunday, we’ll be introducing regular lessons at 10:30 AM in the coming months — stay tuned!

11am to 2pm: DJ Dennis Myers will be playing a Casual Ballroom Eclectic mix, with plenty of Waltz, Swing, Two Step, Latin, and more.
Come dance into the new year with us — same magic, new-old space

We’re excited to bring Dance Eclectic to Waverly Heights Church in Southeast Portland — a welcoming venue in a quiet neighborhood, currently home to the Monday night Lenora’s Room dances.
This location offers several advantages over Norse Hall: easier evening parking, a beautiful vaulted interior, great floor and acoustics, and a cozy, intimate atmosphere. It’s an ideal space for our Blues Eclectic dances.
Music by DJ Dennis Myers: A mix of blues, waltz and swing, both classic and contemporary. Whether you’re grounded in blues or curious to expand your dancing, the music will be rich, expressive, and inviting.
We look forward to dancing with you in this new space.
