Come back Home to where it all Began...

What the Future can Bring:
In the Home of Swing


The Harlem Swing Dance Society (THSDS)
is incorporated and seeking to cultivate global representation
by sending and bringing Swing Dancing
in full force back home to its original
Cultural Birthplace: Harlem.

THSDS is striving to make a marketable contribution
and cultural institution by implementing regular
programs to keep the dance culture alive in its home.

This will help in not only reconnecting
Swing Dancing with its ethnic roots,
but also help reintroduce local community members
with a cultural base that is recognized the world over.
Likewise others visiting Harlem will learn more about
The Savoy Ballroom and the Swing Dance Legacy
in former and modern terms.


Success is the projected path of
The Harlem
Swing Dance Society.

We are looking for Supporters,
Members, Volunteers, and of course
present and future Swing Dancers!

So: Come back Home
to where it all began…
