Swing Dance Dress Code & Etiquette

Attire Guidelines:
Swing dance attire blends vintage and modern elements. Men can opt for casual options like graphic tees with trousers, collared shirts for formality, or full suits for a polished look. Avoid stilettos (risk of injury), overly revealing outfits, shorts, heavy boots, or gym wear. Prioritize comfort and style while respecting the dance’s roots.

Etiquette Tips:
Politely invite partners; if declining, refrain from accepting other offers until the song ends. Maintain personal hygiene for close interactions. Apologize if you bump or step on someone. Avoid eating/drinking on the dance floor to keep the area clean. Solo dancers are common—relax, enjoy the music, and stay off your phone to increase your chances of being invited. Embrace the lively, inclusive spirit of swing dancing!

You’ve seen swing dance in classic films: The Great Gatsby, La La Land, Pulp Fiction, Singin' in the Rain... Always paired with jazz rhythms and retro flair.

🎷 Swing dance flourished in 1920s-40s America, embodying the glitz of the "Roaring Twenties" and offering solace during the Great Depression. Born in Black communities, it features dynamic rhythms and diverse styles.

💃🏻 Swing dancers embrace spontaneity, improvising to the music while creating magical connections with partners.
