What is Swing Dancing?

Swing dancing is the family of dances that developed to the new musical style that began with the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s.  Under this wide umbrella, there are many dance styles such as Eastcoast swing/Jitterbug, Lindyhop, Charleston, Blues, Balboa and many more.  Almost 90 years later and the dance still has a large and active following all over the world.

The people over at Yehoodi! made a great video about the history of the dance.

About the Community

Salt City Lindy Hop began in the fall of 2017 as the Salt City Sock Hop. It was the first event of its kind in years to fill the growing need for East Coast Swing dancing in Syracuse, NY. Since then, it’s expanded into what it is today – a welcoming community of dancers from all walks of life, offering lessons, social dances, and events for Lindy Hop, Blues, Balboa, and Swing.
