Inclusion
We are a community that welcomes and includes everyone and are dedicated to making safe spaces! We strive to meet people where they are, respect everyone’s backgrounds and intersections, and to grow and educate our community on how we can engage with kindness and open minds. Education
As an organization centered around lindy hop and other Black and African American jazz dances, we teach people to dance while also trying to center Black American social dance values such as individuality, spontaneity, rhythm, and improvisation. Connection
We believe that connection is the goal for all of us as humans and as social dancers. Within our community, whether we’re mingling on the social floor or when we’re out there cutting the rug together- we collaborate with our community and strive to build a culture where kind and meaningful connection with one another is cherished and cultivated. Dance
It’s in the name! We provide classes, DJ’d and live music events in which everyone in our community is given the opportunity to learn, practice, and enjoy the art of lindy hop. Social dancing with a community can bring so much joy to everyone involved, and we encourage everyone to come and Swingout with us!
