Our mission is to preserve and celebrate American Swing-era music through dance and to expose the greater community to the joys of swing through education, dance events, performances, and outreach. We aim to create and promote opportunities for spectators, listeners, dancers, and musicians to interact with this African-American art form in their day-to-day lives.
Join us this February for a wintery weekend full of evening social dances to live jazz music with dancers from Utah and surrounding states, superb DJs for late-night dances, competitions, showcases, and days full of workshops. Come for the dancing stay for the skiing and enjoy the world’s greatest snow while making life-long swing connections.
