Learn from our Dance Team members who are some of the most talented dancers on the swing scene today. Each of us specializes in the swing styles that emerged out of the 1920s – 1950s here in America. We cherish these dances and love sharing them so that they will live on and on. Maybe you'll be part of the next generation of talent.
