The KWSDS runs several regular dances including Caesar Martini's every Monday night, and special monthly dances on the last Friday of most months.

There are also many special events that happen throughout the year, run by the KWSDS or various other groups, including workshops, dance weekends, and road trips to major regional and international events in other cities. Those are listed here and also on the calendar.
