ABOUT
Swingtime is Stanford's premiere performance-based swing dance troupe.
Our specialty is Savoy-style Lindy Hop, a style of swing born in late-'20s Harlem. We work with professional choreographers, dance historians, and dance legends to recreate swing-era dances and integrate current trends.
Swingtime's repertoire ranges from smooth swing with sleek moves to fast-paced Lindy Hop with jaw-dropping aerials. We are continually pressing the limits of how smooth, fast, and high we can go!
AUDITIONS
Join us for the experience of a lifetime this year!
Now is your time! Come audition for Swingtime - we are Stanford's sensational swing dance performance troupe. You will join a fun and tight-knit family, perform stylish swing choreography for big audiences, and best of all, find a new passion to pursue at Stanford and beyond. (Extra perk: we also get to perform in classic costumes!)
Think you have what it takes? Even if you're not sure, come and try out anyway! When we say no experience necessary, we mean it. Swingtime members are chosen for attitude as much as aptitude – many of our current members had never danced before. As a bonus, you'll learn part of an actual Swingtime choreo!
