The Breakaway
📍 200 Grand Ave, Oakland, CAThe Breakaway on Grand Avenue near Lake Merritt in Oakland is the East Bay's dedicated Lindy Hop and swing dance venue, running weekly Thursday evening events that combine a beginner lesson in the first hour with two or more hours of open social dancing to DJs and live bands, making it one of the most direct paths from your first swing step to actually dancing socially in a single evening. The beginner lesson covers the six-count basic, rock step, and two to three fundamental partner moves before the floor opens up, and more experienced dancers are welcoming to beginners during the social portion. Thursday nights run consistently throughout the summer and admission includes the lesson.
