Other Swing Dances

Friday nights with the Ann Arbor Swing Dance Association (AASDA)

At the Dakota Building: 1785 West Stadium Blvd

The Ann Arbor Swing Dance Association (AASDA) promotes and sponsors the traditional swing dances with roots in the decades of the 1920's-1940's such as charleston, lindy hop, collegiate shag, east coast swing, balboa, and blues. We love these dances and want to share our passion with you! Our goal is to bring lessons and workshops to the Ann Arbor swing dance community, and to promote the swing dancing venues in the area. If you would like more information or to get involved, contact us. See you on the dance floor!
