Swing has given me a new group of lifelong friends and a welcoming community that I know I could always reach out to. It's a lifelong hobby and form of expression that is extremely inclusive to all, which in this day and age can be hard to find.
The swing community has pockets of different clubs that all are intertwined and rely on each other. We cannot function alone without the rest of the community, because it's against the values of the swing community. We're different from other campus clubs that may be completely reliant on just USG and themselves; we need the rest of our community to infuse us with the energy that we all love that comes from dancing and interacting and sharing our experiences.
