The Swing Club at UVa is a group of students who enjoy social swing dancing and who are helping to improve our dance community by learning, teaching, and preserving several styles swing dance and swing music. Our club has four main activities:

• Dances: We hold swing dances at UVa approximately once a month. These dances are free to all swing club members, and is open to all UVa students and the community at large. We provide a beginner's lesson at the the start of each UVa dance. Most dances will be held in either Newcomb Ballroom, on the 3rd floor of Newcomb Hall, or at the Forum @ O-Hill, in back of the O-Hill Dining Facility.
• Lessons: We hold weekly meetings where swing lessons are taught by student instructors. All levels are welcome, from beginner to advanced. We cover a variety of swing styles including East Cost, Balboa, Charleston, Lindy Hop, and Blues. Lessons will be held in one of the athletic facilities. NOTE: Lessons are only open to club members.
• Trips: We distribute information and organize carpools to nearby swing events. There are dances almost every weekend throughout the school year in Charlottesville, Richmond, VA Beach, Blacksburg (VT), Williamsburg (W&M), Harrisonburg (JMU), Washington D.C., etc.
