THE HOUSTON SWING DANCE SOCIETY’S ASPIRATIONAL MISSION IS TO INTRODUCE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, COLORS, RACES, CULTURES, GENDERS, AND ORIENTATIONS TO THE JOY OF THE MUSIC AND SOCIAL DANCES OF THE SWING ERA AND TO CREATE A “LIVING TRADITION” IN OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES IN SUPPORT OF THE RESURGENCE OF THE LINDY HOP: THE GREAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN SOCIAL DANCE THAT EMERGED FROM HARLEM BALLROOMS IN THE LATE 1920S.
