Calendar of Events Description of what Swing Kids is all about. Events and outings described. The group originated with students in a ballroom dance class, so we also like to play around with the smooth dances like tango and waltz. Swing Kids is a student organization at SHSU devoted to sharing the joys of dancing and providing an environment for students to enhance their knowledge and abilities through sharing of knowledge and pooling of resources to bring in professional teachers for workshops. While some members have expressed an interest in competing, we feel that an organization focusing on social dancing should have a social aspect to it for those who lack the time and desire to compete.
Competition focuses on skill and style and leads to improvements in self-assurance as well.
Social dancing rounds out the lead-follow skills. In any case, some of us just want to have fun. So, if you're interested in working on your swing or latin moves, or just enjoy dancing, then please join us for one of our workshops, general meetings or a special outing. Occasionally, we will announce workshops scheduled for the convenience of a professional instructor. After a period of inactivity, we are trying to put the organization back together.
