The traveling swing dancers of the Southeast

Every year in April, a three-day dancing event invites people to swing into spring — literally. With workshops, competitions and social dances, Statesboro Swings Out draws together a close-knit community of dancers from up and down the East Coast. They come from university dance clubs and the “dance scenes” of the Southeast’s larger cities, carpooling to travel hundreds of miles and crash on the couches of other dancers they may never have met, all for the love of swing and Lindy Hop dancing.
