Mission
Swingout OKC is dedicated to facilitating, sustaining, and growing the swing dance community of the greater Oklahoma City area by providing educational and social swing dance opportunities. We strive to promote a forward thinking scene while preserving the historical culture of the dance.
Vision
Become a community hub for all forms of swing dance, spurring integration of the diverse people of the greater Oklahoma City area through intentional outreach and fostering a safe and welcoming community for education and expression in the form of swing and jazz dance.
History
Swingout OKC began when a handful of strangers found each other at a public city dance event. We decided that while there might not currently be a swing dance scene in OKC, there would be if we kept showing up for each other and for new dancers. We started meeting in 2016 with a belief that we "just want people to dance," and that's still a maxim we live by. We love being a part of this city, participating in local events, and getting people excited about swing dancing.
