Southampton Swing Dancers
We are a new society for lindy hop at the University of Southampton. Lindy hop is a fun and stylish partner dance with great swing music. Join us and learn cool moves, meet lovely people and enjoy the dance floor
WHAT IS SWING DANCE?
Swing dance is a social dance that originated in Harlem in the 1920s-40s. It is an improvised, lively coupled dance to jazz music. It is an amazing dance and a wonderful community of people who help you push yourself as you learn new moves and techniques and become comfortable with the joy of social dancing.
