Swing dancing is an African-American creative art, built on African-American dance values. These roots and values deserve to be reflected in our communities, to respect the spirit of the dance, and make it an inclusive space for people of color. Conversations on this topic are underway in the Lindy Hop and Balboa communities. The Collegiate Shag scene is long overdue to start contributing to this important work.
