Welcome to Denton Swing!

Denton Swing Dance Organization was established to provide and promote swing dancing in the greater Denton area. Dances are held on the first Saturday and third Friday of the month and are open to people of all ages. All of the dances are smoke and alcohol free.

What is Swing Dancing?

Swing dancing is a group of dances that developed in the 1920's, 30's and 40's. These dances were originally done to swing jazz music, which has a syncopated rhythm. 

Swing dancing experienced a revival in the 1980's and 90's and is a fun way to stay active and to socialize. Swing dancing is enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds around the world today.

Learn to Dance!

A beginner East Coast Swing lesson is held from 8-9pm before every dance. The cost of the lesson and the dance is $5.00 for members (or affiliates) and $7.00 for non-members(cash only please).
Workshops are $10.00 for members (or affiliates) and $15.00 for non-members. This include the price of the social dance. Workshops are generally held from 6:30pm-8pm once a month, and cover all types of swing dancing, including Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, Solo Jazz, and Lindy Hop.

Denton Swing Dances are social dance and we do not allow aerials or low dips for safety reasons.
