Charlottesville Swing Dance Society

Swing Swap

Swing Swap is the longest running WCS dance practice in Charlottesville. It is a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, where all levels are welcome and no partner needed. It’s a great place to meet others in our dance community!

Attendees of all CSDS events are expected to be familiar with and abide by our Code of Conduct.


Swing Swap is a casual dance activity where new dancers can practice their basics and experienced dancers can try out new moves. But like social dances, Swing Swap is NEVER a place to offer unrequested feedback, criticism or evaluation.

Swing Swap is held weekly on Thursday evenings from 7-8:30 pm at the Municipal Arts Center (aka “The MAC”), 1119 5th Street SW, across from 5th Street Station Shopping Mall. This is a great venue with hardwood floors, a central location, and plenty of free parking. Many restaurants are nearby for pre- and post- dance activities.

Admission is a suggested donation of $3-$5 to help us pay the rental fee.  Your support will help keep us dancing at one of the longest, continuous dance activities in the Charlottesville area.

For the latest DJ schedule see CSDS Events.

  1. Swing Swap is 7:00-8:30 pm.  If you arrive early, you’ll need to wait outside, until the Swing Swap host arrives.
