​​Our mission is to preserve, promote, and expand the art of swing dance and music by funding efforts which foster accessibility, education, and cultural exchange across the world. We believe that swing dance and jazz music should be available to everyone, regardless of economic background or geographic location.

​

Through education and accessibility, we assist towards scholarships and grants to support students, teachers, and musicians from underserved communities, ensuring they have the opportunity to learn, grow, and connect. We help organizations which bring free public classes to community spaces, making swing dance an open and inclusive experience. And we invest in organizations which aim towards developing school partnerships, integrating swing history, music, and movement into primary and secondary education system, preserving its legacy for future generations.

​

To elevate performance and exposure, we support swing performance troupes that tour schools, theaters, and community events, sharing the joy and artistry of swing dance. Our International Swing Ambassadors program helps fund professional dancers and musicians to travel to areas where local swing scenes need financial support to grow. Through competitions and festivals, we create spaces for dancers and musicians to showcase their talent and celebrate the culture.

​

We are dedicated to revitalizing music and live bands by investing in youth swing bands, providing instruments, lessons, and mentorship to young musicians. We collaborate with jazz musicians and orchestras to bring back big band performances, ensuring that live swing music remains at the heart of the dance. Our recording and archiving projects document lesser-known compositions and oral histories, preserving them for generations to come.

Through archival projects, we digitize and protect vintage footage, photographs, and records of swing dancers and musicians from the 1920s onward, safeguarding this rich cultural heritage. Additionally, we foster mentorship and leadership training, connecting young dancers, musicians, and organizers with experienced professionals to build the next generation of swing ambassadors.

​

By embracing swing dance as both a historical treasure and a vibrant, evolving art form, we strive to inspire, educate, and connect communities across the world.
