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. Occasionally we move around – our calendar is the best place to find the locations of our events!
