About

Swing Dance Calgary is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting early jazz and swing music, the dances they inspired, and environments in which people can actively enjoy this music and dance.

The forms of dance include Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, and Blues.

SDC Board Members:

• Amber Torguson
• Bart Hribar
• Roger Pittet
• Timothy Gladysz

We’re the ones in charge of keeping the infrastructure of SDC alive, but if you have great ideas we’d love for you to pursue them!  Approach any of us with your idea for an event, a gathering, or really anything that would contribute to the swing community, and we will give you some experienced guidance, a website and bank account to back you, and a name.  We can’t wait to support your ideas!
