Mark the above dates on your calendars and join us for great (free) dances at Hanover Square with live bands. These events were created by The Hanover Square Association in cooperation with SSDS and we need your support to promote swing dancing. The programs will feature dance demonstrations, instruction and live bands.

On all four Friday evenings, the Syracuse Swing Dance Society (SSDS) will be on hand for dance demonstrations of West Coast Swing, East Coast Swing (Jitterbug), Lindy Hop and the Latin Hustle.
