All-American Country Nights
Country swing, two-step, line dancing, BBQ, and wine, in the barn at Whiffletree Farm in Warrenton or on the grounds at Bull Run. A 45-minute lesson opens every night, so everyone starts out on the floor together.
The DMV's biggest nights out for young adults.
We build the night around meeting people. Dance lessons to begin the night, a live band, and a few hundred young adults. Come on your own, bring friends, or make it a date night. Plenty of people here have met the person they married.

Four nights we run back all year
Sangria y Salsa
The DMV's largest Latin dance series. Salsa and bachata, live Latin music, sangria, and the whole vineyard at The Winery at Bull Run.
Galas, holidays, and special nights
Black tie, a live big band, and a few hundred people who dressed for it. The Crooner Christmas Ball at Hotel Heron, St. Joseph's Ball at Catholic University, and The Grape Gatsby at Old Farm Winery. Holiday nights land here too, along with the one-offs we only do once.
Soirees and summer nights
Strawberries on the lawn at President Lincoln's Cottage, live jazz in a hotel courtyard in Old Town Alexandria, disco on the docks at Columbia Island Marina.

Started for people who moved here and didn't know anyone yet.
DC Social Collective launched in 2021, when the pandemic had emptied out the young adult scene. Five years on it is one of the largest young adult communities in the DMV, with about 6,000 people a year coming out, and its nights sell out.
Most of the room is in their twenties and early thirties. You don't need a date and you don't need to be Catholic, though that is where our roots are. You come, you take the lesson, and you leave knowing people.
