ND Swingers was sturtcd in 1998 when an enthused Ixiy and girl were dancing one night oLit on the quad to the swinging sounds ot music blaring from a domi window. Before long, a crowd of interested students surrounded I he energetic diuicers. Tlx ' y loved what they saw and wanted to learn the moves themselves. This soon became a weekly ritual of informal swing instniction and d; ncing on the quad. As the weather turned colder, the dmicers had to move inside, so they formed the official Notre Dame Swing Qub and its popularity quickly grew. Students would line up at the dtxir iin hour bef(.)re lessons just to ensure they could get in before the nxtm filled to capacity ' . Four years later, the tradition continues ;uid crowds of students still wait outside the door of 301 Rockne ever ' Monday night eager for swing instruction. A group of enthusiastic studait instructors lead weekly lessons teaching East G«st Swing dancing iind its variations. In addition to lessons, Swing Club hosts several open dances throughout the semester in which studaits have the chance to show off their new diincing skills. An exciting swing dance comperiricTi rounds out the end of the semester, with prizes given to the students who demonstrate nuistery of the diince. The piissionate instructors can idso be found dancing at various events around campus. They have performed for a basketball game halfrime show, an alumni reunion, the Notre Dame Fair, The Tent, ;md a pc p rally, among other appearances. Tlie club is thriving and always kx)king for eager new dancers to join the ND Swingers. -Margaret Kulwicki Swing Club Brinn AiLims, ShanicLi Sharp, Margaret Kulwicki, Will Eder, Meg Diiminick, Luke Siiinkiiskv Oy- M i iff CT
