Swing dancing around Asia
In the last few years, Asia has exploded Lindy-wise. Since the local language is not always English, we continue to support the Asia Lindy Alliance project to run a website where visitors to Asia or inside Asia can be pointed to the most relevant info on dancing in the region.
Swing dancing around the world
If you're looking for events anywhere in the world, start at SwingPlanit.com. If you're looking for social dancing, best to look for a relevant Facebook group–most scenes will have one, if not an official website. Not always in English! But if you get into troubles, do drop us an email.
