Welcome guys and dolls! We are so glad that you have decided to check out our Web page. We hope that you will find the information presented here to be useful in assisting you to find opportunities to discover and pursue the Louisville swing dance scene. We have tried to make this site beneficial to both novices and old pros. We are certain that if you come out to one of our many events you will enjoy the company of our many members and learn a new step or two.

The Louisville Swing Dance Society was created by Louisville dancers in 2000 in order to learn traditional swing dance styles through research and sharing knowledge, to promote swing dancing around Louisville, and to create a social atmosphere where Louisvillians can meet new people and have fun. After six years our group continues to grow. It is hard to believe that what started out as bimonthly "practice sessions" in the backroom of J. P. Kayrouz with a dozen or so untrained dancers has developed into the 200-member organization it is today.

Here are some answers to some frequently asked questions:

Q: How do I become a member?

A: Membership is easy, we have always been fairly informal. Just click on the link that says "Receive Weekly E-vents" on our main page, from there click on Join this Group and create your Yahoo! profile.

A: No. The Louisville Swing Dance Society has always supported itself through the lessons we provide. Many of our instructors volunteer their time and knowledge in order to support a swing dance scene in Louisville.

A: We have weekly dances on Tuesday nights at The Pink Door, Thursday nights at Jim Porters and we meet on the second Saturday of the month at the Louisville Arthur Murray Studio. Check calendar and upcoming events for more information and more dances in the area.
