Description

Specialties

We are currently creating monthly swing dance events that include lessons and social dancing. We also have private lessons available.

We specialize in lindy hop, charleston, and vernacular jazz movement.

History

Established in 2012.

Breezy Knees was started in the summer of 2012 by a group of passionate dancers who wanted to bring the joy of swing dancing to Long Beach. We believe in encouraging everyone to find their voice through dance, and to help create a place of expression, laughter, and fun. We can’t wait to dance with you!

I took a three week dance lesson here, I ended up skipping the last week because I was so dissatisfied. The instructors spoke to me like I was a child.
The worst part: 1 hour lessons that started 10 minutes late and finished early. What a rip off.

Why is this place charging $ 12.00 to dance to recorded music only? Lindyhop stop in Garden Grove only charges $ 5.00. I could understand if they have a band and have to pay them but this is a rip off and it’s always on a Sunday night when most working adults have to go to work the next day. Not worth it in my opinion!

Did I forget to write a review? Welp, I’ll do it now. This place is great!
My girlfriend and I went here used a Unilocal voucher and took a beginners swing class. It was a lot of fun, we both learned a lot, and you really will not find a more welcoming group of people. We’ve gotten busy but plan to attend often in the new year!

Great music. Super welcoming and friendly environment. Not to mention ambiance, charm, a nice dance floor, light snacks, and there is a good mix of varying experience levels. It’s everything you could want from a swing venue. Did I mention it’s across the street from the beach? Parking in meters is free in the evening, which is a plus since street parking is mostly taken. The rest of the lot takes payments-​by-​space.
Look for Breezy Knees right next to Club Ripples on the corner. (It’s easy to miss because this block is mostly a residential area.)
Mary and Andrew are great dancers who are passionate about what they do and know how to host a fun and enjoyable weekly event. I highly recommend dropping in for their Sunday dance or taking a class series with them and/​or a guest instructor!

I had never done any swing dancing before and I showed up at 8pm for the beginners class and stayed until the last dance. The instructors are really great and during the social dance I got to learn more steps from the better dancers and try out what I had just learned. I’m telling all my friends about it!

I attended the last two Breezy Knees dances in Belmont Shores (Long Beach) — this past First Saturday and last night (Monday), both great events, nice turnout of dancers, beginner to advanced, … I just had a wonderful time.
There are four principals in this enterprise: Alice, Mary, Andrew and Conrad. Alice Pye and Conrad were my two (almost-​) first teachers. At 8pm they have lessons at two levels: beginner and intermediate. I, of course, always opt for the beginner class because then I get to meet the new students, they are more at my skill level and I like dancing with beginners, after all, I am only a beginner, too, perhaps an advanced-​beginner, but still … With beginners I get to practice new steps and improvisations without any fear of making mistakes, then I get to help them, which I enjoy, … Then, there is nothing like seeing the smile of a lady experiencing her first swing in a fast-​turn dance step. Swing dancers have big smiles when they are having fun, even bigger when major mistakes are made.

I love breezy knees! I have only been here once, but man was it fun. The location is wonderful – it’s really close to the beach – and the ballroom itself is small but not overcrowded. The instructors and fellow dancers are all very nice and positive people and I never got the vibe that people were better than others. All levels of dancer will enjoy dancing here on Mondays nights!

Breezy Knees is the bomb! It is a super laid back environment that cultivates a perfect environment for everyone at all levels! People are friendly and the music is rockin! or swingin’ ;)
Beginners can hide in the crowd (but who wants to do that?) OR feel bold enough to ask one of the advanced instructors for a dance (they are just that approachable).
More experienced dancers have the freedom to experiment new moves and be inspired by the other dancers and awesome music! Bottom line, people are there because they are passionate about dancing!
Also, its cheap and has free parking… which is a HUGE plus!
Come check it out so we can dance!

As a novice to not just lindihop, but dance in general, I can’t stress how much I enjoy going to Breezy Knees. I am learning how to dance to swing music through easy-​to-​follow and fun lessons, led by friendly and encouraging instructors. You can tell that the people who run and maintain Breezy Knees are very passionate about what they do and their passion is infective.
The lessons are great, as is the dance itself, in which both skilled swingers and those learning, like myself, mix it up. A great place to learn, have fun and let loose.

It’s a great place to swing dance, definitely the best in Long Beach. The instructors really care about your dancing and seek to build a community of people that love the music and motion of 30s and 40s swing music.
The dances are great for both the beginners, new to the scene and the seasoned dancers as well. the energy is positive and just like me, if you go once, you will be going back!

Had an absolute blast! This was my first lesson of any kind of dance. Everyone was very welcoming. The lesson I took with Mary and Juan was very informative and super fun. They really took time to explain each step and helped us if we had any questions. The dance part started after the lessons. It was a really smooth transition. We got to pick partners and dance with whomever we wanted to. Everyone was really nice and willing to dance. Also, the music was fantastic! I will definitely take the lesson and go to the dance again.

Whether you’re a local lindy hop dancer who hasn’t made it out yet, or an out of towner looking for a place to swing out on a Monday night, you need to hit up Breezy Knees.
My favorite thing about this venue is the music selection: it’s always very diverse and never seems to repeat itself. The house DJs and the guest DJs they bring out have superb taste.
The floor has always been a consistently perfect amount of slidey-​ness.
The classes before the dance always cast a wide net and feature fun and whimsical moves that are easily added into your social dancing tool belt.
New dancers: This is a great place to get your feet wet and start swing dancing. Most new folks I’ve talked to have gotten a really positive and encouraging vibe from the experienced dancers that frequent this venue — that’s why they keep coming back!
And jeez it’s only $ 5!
See you next Monday!!!
*Tip: You don’t need to park on the street: the parking lot across from the venue is free at night!

Breezy Knees is one of the most fun venues to Swing dance at. No matter how many or few dancers show up, the passion is consistently off the charts!

Breezy Knees is such a great Lindy Hop venue. Definitely my favorite. I’m there every Monday and it never fails to be super fun. Classes are great — the instructors are really helpful and approachable. I feel like I always benefit a ton when I take them. There are both beginner and intermediate/​advanced lessons.
The dance (after classes) is awesome. The music is always on point, and the folks who dance here are friendly, fun and genuinely psyched to be dancing with you.
Free parking across the street at the beach parking lot after 6 pm. Short walk to 2nd street where there’s lots of places to eat/​drink/​be merry.

Breezy Knees is my favorite place to dance in Southern California. They always provide the best music and the dancers are all so fun to be around. The location is right across the street from the ocean and just down the street from tons of bars/​restaurants. I come out to Breezy Knees every Monday to start my week off right.
