About

The Firehouse has weekly classes covering dances from the swing era including: Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, Solo Jazz and Shag. Classes include admission to the DJ’ed social dance.  We also have live bands once a month!

The Firehouse is open to all ages, skill levels and lifestyles. It is a great place to meet new people and get some exercise. No partner required!

The Firehouse Swing Dance is the longest running swing dance in San Diego.  Founded by Meeshi Anjali in 1998 the Firehouse got it's name from the original venue, a renovated “firehouse”. After several moves, it is now located at the St. Paul's Conference Center in Bankers Hill. In April 2018, Meeshi retired from running the Firehouse which is now run by Derrick and Erin Roos.
