WWU Swing Kids

Welcome to the web site of WWU Swing Kids, the Northwest's premiere college swing dance club! For over a decade, we've been committed to our mission of providing a friendly place where anyone can come to learn and dance swing dances of all types.

Every year, Swing Kids hosts a large swing event. In April of 2006, we held Bellingham's first major lindy hop weekend workshop and dance event, the Western Washington Jazz Dance Festival. The following year, we hosted a college swing exchange and invited dancers from all over the northwest. Last year's event was another successful weekend workshop at the beautiful Broadway Hall. And you can bet that next year's event will be the best yet!

During the summer, Swing Kids meets Wednesday nights at Maritime Heritage Park from 7-9 pm. During the school year, WWU Swing Kids meets weekly on Wednesday nights in the Viking Union Multipurpose Room from 6 pm to 9 pm. Our weekly meetings include one-on-one help, group lessons, and a DJ'ed dance. Everything is completely free, and everyone is welcome. No partner is necessary. More info can be found on our Wednesdays page.

This site contains news and information about the club and its activities, info about events and venues in the larger Northwest swing community, and a little bit about the different types of swing dances themselves and their histories. Please look around and enjoy yourself, and we'll see you on Wednesday!
