SSDS Dance Venues List

The following listing of dance venues is in no particular order and opinions are VERY subjective. It is meant to help swing dancers find a good combination of live band music and dance venue in Syracuse area. There are probably many other very danceable places that we haven't seen. If you would like to see a venue added or opinion reconsidered, please contact Can Isik. Thanks. -- Updated: 3/8/2005
