About SASDS

In the beginning, before there was a society or formal lessons or even a website to tell you all about what happened in the beginning, there was an independant group of people of different backgrounds and lifestlyes, who all shared one common passion: lindy hop. They met in random dance studios accross town to social dance, practice, or just discuss the newest technique they had stumbled upon. They were so excited about this dance that they told everyone they knew about it. Some were equally thrilled and joined them, others merely thought that they were crazy and smiled sympathetically.

Slowly but surely, the number of lindy hop enthusiasts grew and grew. Eventually, it became clear that if the wonderful world of swing dancing was to reach a broader range of people, they would have to get organized. Thus the San Antonio Swing Dance Society was founded in 2000. Yay! On June 13th, 2007, the SASDS was formally incorporated as a Nonprofit Corporation in the State of Texas. Double Yay!

Today SASDS is dedicated to spreading the joy of swing dancing to as many people as possible through lessons, workshops, social dances, and, most importantly, a friendly and eager group of people. The group also does charity events such as Special Event entertainment, charity dances, Society fundraisers, and free swing dance lessons at Sam's Burger Joint!
