A real community built on a real belief
DFW Young and Social Club is a passion project founded by Alexi and Marco. It started in late 2021 when Alexi believed, and still believes, that everyone deserves a place to connect authentically. Too many third spaces have ulterior motives, pushing people as customers to sell to rather than building a community that is actually about them. It should just be real people doing things they actually enjoy, together.
Marco joined in early 2022 and saw the opportunity to create something truly accessible for everyone. What started as 10 events a month has grown to 140+ events a month: dance classes, creative workshops, game nights, social mixers, and more, all inside a space dedicated to this community. Five years in, we have welcomed over 45,000 participants, been featured on NBC, and hosted over 2,000 experiences.
Every event, every class, every corner of this community exists for one reason: making culture, connection, and experience accessible to everyone.
What Does It Cost?
Keeping Events Accessible, Always
No membership required. Most of what we do is free or low-cost. Here's a general idea of what to expect when you show up.
Social Events
Free for most
Most socials, mixers, and hangouts cost nothing to attend. Larger parties and premium experiences start around $20.
Dance Classes
As low as $9 per class
Drop in for $15, or grab a 12-class pack and bring it down to $9 a class. Unlimited members pay even less.
Arts & Crafts
As low as free
Many crafting sessions are free to join. When materials are involved, costs are kept as low as we can make them.
