"Swing dancing changed my life." ~ Karen Wachsman

Swing dancing changed my life. As a shy person I found it difficult to find social events where I felt comfortable. I would often go to events and not have a good time. Swing dancing has helped me overcome my shyness. I am able to meet all kinds of people and have a great time dancing. Unfortunately we live in a world full of hatred, violence, and divisiveness. It so comforting to have a dance community where people come together regardless of age, race, religion or sexual orientation. We all get along and have a great time dancing together. I would gladly pay a fee to attend UCONN dances.
