a historical Jazz Dance Group
As South Florida’s longest-running Lindy Hop dance, we’re here to create a community for everyone who wants to celebrate the living legacy of swing dance and 20s-40s jazz music! We honor and preserve their history through education and practice, cause our folks raised us right.
Swing Out, South Florida (SOSF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit creating a scene with a space for everyone and a culture of connecting with each other both on and off the dance floor. We're fostering a vibrant, lively, diverse community of dancers, empowered to express themselves through vernacular jazz dances. Join us for social dances, classes, and events that are welcoming and fun where dancers can grow, share their dance, and build community together.

Our Mission:
Space to Mess Around!
We welcome everyone at our social dances - no experience or partner needed to join the party! (Don’t worry - we've got a free Taster Lesson so you don't have to cannonball into the deep end of the pool alone.)
We inspire and challenge dancers in our weekly progressive lessons to experiment, step up their knowledge, and work on their personal style.
And we create unique learning opportunities for dancers about the history and culture of these styles that we share and love.

The Quick Version
- Be kind, respectful, and mindful of others’ boundaries. Know your own boundaries & be prepared to communicate them respectfully.
- Follow proper social dance etiquette: ask people to dance politely, accept "no" gracefully, prioritize good hygiene, practice good floor craft, don’t offer unsolicited advice to fellow dancers, and don’t throw aerials on the social floor. Please keep your volume low during the Taster, whether you are participating or waiting on the sidelines for a social dance to start.
- Adhere to venue rules, including alcohol and smoking policies.
- Harassment, discrimination, or unsafe behavior is prohibited.
- Late arrivals to classes or workshops may be denied entry. If you’re late and able to join the class, enter quietly and attentively. Each Taster has a teacher’s assistant, who will be able to help you catch up without interrupting the flow for the rest of the class. Please seek out this teacher, rather than jumping into the circle with the rest of the students.
- Participants violating this code may be expelled or banned from events without refund.
Lauderdale tennis club
This is the home of our bi-weekly Social Dance and Taster Lesson! Once you've parked in the spacious parking lot, head inside the big club building on the South side of the lot and up the stairs. The Tennis Club has wooden floors and a balcony where you can step outside for some fresh air. Down the balcony stairs, you'll find a water fountain, cups, ice chest, as well as a bar with a full kitchen!
