Our association, Swingconnection-Leipzig e.V., is a community of dance enthusiasts from Leipzig dedicated to the music and dances of the Swing Era. We offer ongoing dance classes at various levels and organize a range of swing events. As a non-profit organization, we devote all our energy to promoting and spreading swing dance and the culture that has defined it for decades. We currently have around 120 members who practice, dance, and celebrate together, participate in competitions, and share the spirit of swing dance with the world.
