For the past 20 years, The Washington Swing Dance Committee, Inc. (WSDC) has been a principal player in a nationwide revival of the "one true American Folk Dance." Our dances originated in 1985 when dancers couldn't find a decent place to swing dance in the DC area. Bars and nightclubs were smoky and crowded with small or nonexistent dance floors. Live music was often too loud and too fast. Or, DJ's played oldies, from the 60's, 70's and 80's, rather than the 30's, 40's and 50's. Private parties provided dancers with a space to swing dance but the number of dance enthusiasts quickly outgrew the dance space.
