This is the home of the Kitchener-Waterloo Swing Dance Society (KWSDS). Feel free to email us with any questions or to find out more about swing dancing in the Waterloo Region! You can also join the KW swing dance community mailing list (waterloodancing@yahoogroups.com) to receive announcements about things such as dances, lessons, and special events. Oh, and the KWSDS has a facebook group too!
Beginners and new dancers are always welcome at all the local events. Come on out and give it a shot, bring some friends! If you don't know what swing dancing is like check out our videos of the best of the best. But keep in mind that they're performing... regular dancing is a lot more casual than that!
