SwingCville is dedicated to vintage swing dancing. We dance and teach the Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, and Blues. We are proudly volunteer-run by people with big hearts and a passion for dance.

Join us every Wednesday at The Front Porch. We offer swing dance lessons from 7-8pm. Then, stay for social dancing from 8-9pm.

What is Lindy Hop: A swing dance that started in the late 20s/early 30s. Black American dancers from Harlem, NY created Lindy Hop in response to big band jazz music.

Do I need a partner? You do not need to bring a partner as we rotate partners throughout the night. Anyone can dance any role.

What do I wear? Wear comfortable clothes and flat-soled shoes. Some people wear dressy casual and some wear t-shirts and jeans. Shoes with smooth leather or suede bottoms are great but anything comfortable will be fine to start in!
