The purpose of this club is to spread the joy of swing dancing to the NYU community! Swing dance is a term to describe the dances to swing era jazz music. Our club primarily does Lindy Hop, a Black American dance originating in Harlem in the swing era, but we also include other swing dances like vernacular jazz and balboa! We have lessons taught by experienced student peers and occasional guest instructors. We encourage members to go out social dancing around the city. It's a great way to improve your dancing, meet cool people, and have a CharlesTON of fun!
