Future
dates The 22nd annual Swing Fling will be held at Sheraton Premiere. Nearly a 1000 dancers from the mid-Atlantic and beyond will completely take over this hotel and all of it's giant meeting spaces. The entire building was remodeled in 2012 during the construction of the new metro silver line which stops 1 block away. West Coast Swing & Hustle are the featured dance styles. A full menu of fun social dance contests are offered. There will be social dancing 4 nights in a row. Over 50 social dance workshops are planned and will be added to the schedule page as they are confirmed. Saturday night will feature a truly impressive show including professional exhibitions by the superstar staff. In addition to the West Coast Swing party in the main ballroom there will be a Hustle room and a "Blues, Soul & Groove" room for variety.
Swing Fling
got it's start in 1991 under the
direction of Barry Durand
and Dawn (Blorstad) Garrish.
Swing Fling is
the DC area's oldest and longest running West Coast Swing
dance weekend. It's always been primarily a West Coast Swing
weekend but over the years has also featured Shag, Hand
Dance, Lindy Hop, Hustle and Salsa. It continues
as an original World
Swing Dance Council (WSDC) member and was a founding member
of the National Association of
Swing Dance Events (NASDE). The entire operation is now under direction of Dave Moldover's Dance Jam Productions.
The schedule and format will be
similar to that of the wildly popular
MADjam weekend also
produced by this team. We are currently in the process of
collecting archival photos and video from Swing Fling's early years to
preserve some of it's legacy. If you have anything to
contribute please contact
