Membership

Our club has no membership fee and no partner is required!

We are an organization dedicated to teaching and preserving swing dance and swing culture. Some of the dances we focus on during the school year and teach in our scheduled lessons include: East Coast Swing (aka Jitterbug), 1920's and 1940's style Charleston, Lindy Hop, Balboa, and Blues. Most lessons are taught by members of the club, but we also bring in some outside influence by inviting DJs, musicians, professional instructors, and regular dancers into town from other swing scenes.

We usually hold twice-weekly lessons and open dances, monthly HUB dances in conjunction with LateNight Penn State, and a semester professional workshop. We also travel to a few of the regional swing exchanges each semester to expose club dancers to styles outside of our own.

To join the swing dancing club, start coming to our weekly lessons, and either add your name to the listserv, or ask an officer to.

Hope to see you on the dance floor!
