About ISDN

The Ithaca Swing Dance Network, ltd.,

is a not-for-profit, grassroots group run by dancers, for dancers, in Ithaca, NY, USA. We are a volunteer organization. Our efforts include:

    * Sponsoring dances with live or DJ’d music
    * Sponsoring classes, workshops, and performances, sometimes free to the community
    * Networking with regional swing dance organizations

The ISDN holds live band dances, generally two or three per semester, during the academic year. We also have an annual day and evening of free workshops and dances in the summer, historically known as “Swingin’ on Cayuga.” And we sponsor occasional other dance events as well.  For ISDN and other regional events, check our  calendar.  You can also subscribe to our mailing list by clicking here.

Our History

From its official birth in 1988, and its humble pre-history, the ISDN has evolved into a thriving organization that has hosted a multitude  of classes, social dances, parties, and world-class guest instructors. Read more about ISDN’s history here.  See a list of workshop instructors we’ve had the honor of hosting here.

ISDN’s Administration

The ISDN, Ltd., is run by a group of dedicated volunteers who meet every couple of months, typically on a Sunday, to plan future events, and make the truly important decisions about the world! In exchange for their time, volunteers receive discounts on admission to our events. Anyone who is interested in donating their time and talents, and giving something back to the dance community, is welcome to attend.
