About Swingaround
Built by a dancer, for dancers.
Swingaround started because I wanted one place to hold what I notice in my dancing. I'm a Balboa dancer, DJ, competitor, teacher, organizer, and MC, and I was tired of scattering my dance life across tabs, spreadsheets, and group chats. So I started building the thing I couldn't find: somewhere to study clips, write notes, and stay close to the events, scenes, and dancers I care about.
I built this as a queer dancer who wanted the scene's tools to reflect the scene's values. A little obsessive about the details, the way this community is. Swingaround is for anyone who wants to pay closer attention to their dance life, whether you're finding your first festival or running your tenth.
