Welcome to Swing Ann Arbor!

Upcoming events and series

Swing Ann Arbor is an organization at the University of Michigan that aims to provide Southeast Michigan with high-quality swing dance instruction and weekly dances. Swing Ann Arbor is open to everyone regardless of experience or affiliation. You do not need to be a student at the University of Michigan to attend our events. And, you never need a partner to attend any lesson or dance!

Every week, we offer a free beginner class and a social dance. During the school year, our primary venue is the Vandenberg Room in the Michigan League. We sometimes hold our events at other locations, however, so always check our calendar!

Driving to campus? Here is our handy parking map!
