Welcome to the Ithaca Swing Dance Network's home page. On this page you'll find pointers to

The Ithaca Swing Dance Network (ISDN) is a voluntary organization of swing dance fans who participate in and coordinate dance events in the Ithaca, NY area. The ISDN currently has about 200 members and is growing all the time. The network's activities include:

The ISDN sponsors one dance per month with live music. It also holds record hops every Wednesday night, and on the first Saturday of each month.

Ithaca has a number of excellent dance teachers in all styles, and in addition the Network has attracted visits from many nationally known teachers in the past years. These have included Frankie Manning of Whitey's fame (who will be making a return visit in November), West Coast champions Debbie Ramsey, John Festa, and Maxwell Ho, Texas Whip master Mario Robau, Jr, mambo queen Debra Elkins, smooth-style Lindy Hopper Teddy Kern, and Savoy-style Lindy Hoppers Simon Selmon and Louise Thwaite from London, and Steven Mitchell from California. In the winter we hosted a visit by three-times US Open Champion Robert Cordoba.

All the ills of mankind,
all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books,
all the political blunders,
all the failures of the great leaders
have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing.

Have fun! Look cool! Dance to the music!
