About Swing Dance & Gem City Swing:

Swing is a partner dance, where two people connect with each other and nonverbally give each other cues, allowing each partner to respond to what the other is doing. Everybody dances differently, making each dance you share different and unique. As such, everybody dances with everybody…you can show up by yourself, and you’ll be able to dance with the whole room by the end of the night. If you move your body to the music, you’re swing dancing!
Gem City Swing was founded in 2015 by a group of swing dancers who wanted to grow the swing dance scene in Dayton and wished to introduce more people to swing music.
We’re not in this because we want to make money or promote ourselves. We like dancing, having fun, and meeting people. Our lessons, our dances, and every event that we run is done with the purpose of introducing as many people to swing as possible and having a blast in the process.
It is our goal to promote the education and enjoyment of Lindy Hop and other swing dances in Dayton, Ohio and surrounding areas, by offering social dance events, dance instruction,
workshops, social activities, as well as other events deemed necessary for the promotion of swing dances. We are an organization staffed by people who simply love the dance and want as many people as possible to feel that love as well.
