Swing Dance America

Community Swing Dance Club

in Lexington, KY

Welcome! We are a not-for-profit all-VOLUNTEER community group dedicated to having fun swing dancing and teaching others to swing dance!   Come dance with us anytime -- we will teach you free!

We are sponsored by the "Mind Body Values Group" and given generous assistance by Kentucky DanceSport. We also give volunteer support to local universities to their student swing dance clubs such as the UK Swing Dance Club and the UC Swing Dance Club.

WHEN ARE THE DANCES?
We have a dance once a month. Previously we scheduled them for every second Saturday, but we have since changed some of the dates in order to provide more opportunities for dancing aroung town for everyone!  Please check the calendar for upcoming changes as they occur.  Be sure to be on the mailing list for reminders!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST and WHAT DO YOU GET?
Just 5 Bucks $5.00 (which all goes to the studio for use of their beautiful dance floor). Beginners are welcome There is a "pre-dance" lesson for beginners from 8 pm to 8:45 pm (no extra charge), then open dancing from 9:00 - Midnight on the finest dance floor... in the most beautiful dance studio... in all of Kentucky (i.e. Kentucky DanceSport). Refreshments included and often, when we get lucky, there is a 5 to 10 minute dance exhibition by professional dancers!  Oh! and did we mention that Kentucky Dance Sport has a state of the art surround sound, piping hot, music system? 
 
 

WHERE ARE THE DANCES AND HOW DO WE GET THERE?
Kentucky Dance Sport has a new location in Brannon Crossing shopping center (off Nicholasville, Rd, near Fayette Mall) that is bigger and better!  Address: 241 E. Brannon Rd, Nicholasville, KY  (click for a map!)

Directions:  From New Circle Rd in Lexington, Take the Nicholasville Rd exit (exit 19) outbound toward Nicholasville. Go about 2.5 miles and turn left on Brannon Rd. Take the first left onto Cynthia st, then immediate right turn. The Kentucky Dance Sport studio will be on the left.  (It is across from the Hobby Lobby, in the same building as the Goodwill store).

Occasionally we meet at an alternate location, so be SURE to join our mailing list to get the updates.
 
 

DO I NEED A PARTNER? AND WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW HOW?
No you don't need a partner and you don't need to know how to dance.  We will teach you!  The swing dance community is one of the friendliest dance scenes in the world. Swing dancers are there to dance and to share their moves. Alcohol is not served. The dances are smoke free and there is very little of the old pick-up-scene thing going on.  Dress casual, or dress up - people do both. Generally, and overwhelmingly, swing dancers are just there to dance have fun, stay fit and enjoy the day!  Come join us and see for yourself!   Beginners are always welcomed and encouraged.
