How to Get Involved

We have all-levels-welcome auditions every semester! We will teach a beginner lesson at each audition, as well as having time to get to know current West Philly Swingers members and other auditionees.

Members are expected to be active both within the group on campus as well as within the overall Philly swing dancing scene. This includes 1-2 hours of lessons a week, 1-3 hours of rehearsals a week, 3 hours of social dancing a month and social activities withing the troupe.
