Central Swing Time is an unforgettable Lindy Hop dance weekend, designed and hosted by passionate leaders of the Central Midwest swing dance community.

Each year, this vibrant event travels to one of five lively cities — Think of it like a spicy-dance-food-truck!

The heartbeat of CST is a jam-packed Saturday: a full day of workshops led by seasoned regional dancers and we cap it all off with an electrifying evening social dance. The night’s highlight? A sizzling DJ showdown featuring the Midwest’s finest DJs! You might also catch bonus activities like Friday night dances or Sunday shenanigans depending on the host city!

If you're newer to Lindy Hop, welcome! We suggest you are comfortable with the Swingout to get the most out of the workshops! If you’re not there yet, check out workshops in your local scene or others nearby to gear up for Central Swing Time!

If you're an experienced dancer, welcome back! We suggest you come to class ready to polish your already great skills and to pick up a couple of new tricks!

Let’s swing out, celebrate, and keep the Midwest hopping!
