In May of 2020, Rhythm Relief was created by Nick Williams in cooperation with PSDF to provide financial support to members of the swing dance community affected by COVID-19.

Nick Williams, in partnership with the Pacific Swing Dance Foundation, is throwing a spectacular live-stream swing show coming straight to your home. The purpose of the benefit show is to raise money for full-time swing dance instructors and full-time musicians who have been financially hit by Covid-19. The money raised in the show will compensate the performers for their time, and all additional funds raised will go to a fund for dancers and musicians. Any full-time dancer or musician will be able to apply for the funds we raise through PSDF.
Complete details are available at our Rhythm Relief page.
Patrons at or above the $50 level will receive an enamel pin from Pacific Swing Dance Foundation.

Club 507 Newhall Fundraiser to aid Fire-affected people in our music & dance community 1-12-25: $2,000 was collected thru donations from our guests. We are so proud of that effort from our small Club — only 30 people did this!!! We are honored to donate the full amount to Rhythm Relief to be used in their efforts to support our community.
My thoughts are with you in this devastating time.
This is our community. Sending love to all those affected.
