DMV City Slickerz began in early 2025 as a pursuit for healthy connection. A group of friends wanted a positive alternative to the typical nightlife scene, a space where wellness and movement took priority. What started with a small circle dancing in a local park grew into something far more profound: a sanctuary for souls across DC, Maryland, and Virginia looking for joy.
What we built wasn't just a dance squad, it was a family. We call everyone who joins us "Cousin" because that feeling of belonging is at the core of our culture. Today, we are a diverse community of veterans, young professionals, and families, all using the power of line dancing to foster wellness, celebrate culture, and build lasting community connections.
To create safe, inclusive, and engaging spaces where people build community through movement, culture, wellness, and connection.
