Most monthly dances will also have a beginner “crash course” lesson with a club instructor at the same time. See individual event info in the registration section below to verify availability and see further details.

Building & Parking Information
- The street entrance to MYArts is on the corner of E. Mifflin Street and N. Ingersoll Street.
- Monthly dances (intermediate lesson & social dance) will be in Room 4D, and the beginner lesson will be in the adjacent room 4C.
- On-street parking is free.
- There is a parking garage in the building that charges an hourly rate and has interior access to MYArts. Access the garage from N. Ingersoll Street.
- For those taking public transit, MYArts is served by Madison Metro routes A, B, & D. Route C is a little further but within walking distance.
- NOTE: Some evenings, particularly in the summer, there are large events (sports and festivals) happening at Breese Stevens Field next to MYArts. Street parking may be difficult, and most parking lots in the area incur higher special-event parking fees. However, the parking garage attached to MYArts does not offer event parking and is still open to MYArts event attendees. There will likely be an attendant at the parking lot entrance turning away Breese Stevens event-goers, but if you tell them you are going to an event in MYArts, they will let you park there.
Feeling ill?
If you are not feeling well, please stay home and come to dance another day. Should this happen, contact info@mwcsc.org for a refund or transfer. Full cancellation/refund information can be found here. MWCSC will not admit anyone to a dance who appears to be ill.
Volunteering
Volunteering to help check in dancers or to help with clean up at the end of the event is always appreciated! Contact info@mwcsc.org for more information or to volunteer! Volunteers receive Swing Bucks to use as discounts at future dances.
