Have you ever been to a Swing event where a DJ is playing some great tunes for everyone and you wished you could do the same? If so, we have some great news for you. Everyone can be a Swing DJ (this includes you too!) and we aim to provide a platform to make this happen.
We are excited to announce a new kind of event for people who love Swing music. Consider a “DJ Relay” Zoom session where someone plays a song, mentioning the title, artist/band, album, etc. Based on these details and the song that is being played, another person uses the “chat” function to call dibs on playing the next song that somehow links to the current one playing. The next person then provides similar details of the new song, which enables us to pass the baton and experience music by various people. Think of it as a DJ battle where each of us can be a DJ for a song. We expect the e ... UF Swing Dance Club - [more][facebook][events]

Fri 4 Sep to Mon 7 Sep 2020. Camp Hollywood 2020 is canceled – boo
Virtual Camp Hollywood is on – yay
Registered for competitions? Believe it or not, we are going to try to run them online. See below.
Despite our hopes to the contrary, it has become clear that there is simply no way to safely run a high-contact large event any time in the near future, therefore we’ve made the painful decision to cancel Camp Hollywood 2020.
HOWEVER…we don’t intend to leave your Labor Day Weekend a gaping void in your life. We are currently in the process of formulating an ambitious virtual Camp Hollywood to be run more or less on our normal schedule. This event will include classes from your CH 2020 instructors, panels and talks, DJs from around the world, appearances from our scheduled bands, and contests. Yes, contests*.
While this event will be free for all, it also comes with a considerable cost to make sure our instructors and staff get paid, so we will be running ... Hollywood. UF Swing Dance Club - [more][facebook][events]
