When in Doubt, Swing Her Out | Swing Cats | TEDxACU

Founded in 2003, this group of ACU students works to preserve the culture of the Savoy Ballroom. In their TEDxACU performance, Swing Cats illustrates the art of social dancing and choreography through a combination of Frankie Manning’s dances and showcasing their own moves. In 2003, a group of ACU students formed a club to learn dance steps and preserve the culture of the Savoy Ballroom. Since then, the club has grown to have weekly lessons, two skill-levels of dance, perform around Abilene, and compete at conferences. Students participate in the art of social dancing and choreography by learning Frankie Manning’s dances and coming up with their own moves every Tuesday night on the floor. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
