Columbia University Swing Dancing Club, better known as CU Swing, is offers weekly, 1 hour swing dancing classes in the Lerner Party Space taught by professional swing instructors. It also coordinates club members for on- and off-campus swing events.

Levels

The class is offered at two levels: beginner and intermediate. Advanced level is not being offered at this time. Anyone is free to show up for any class, but beginner is tailored towards students who have no prior swing experience. Generally speaking, the Intermediate level requires knowledge of the eight-count step.

Guy:Girl ratio

Most of the classes tend to have a slight excess of girls, with a guy girl ratio of about 4:5. To deal with this, partners are rotated, so that everyone has a chance to practice. In addition, some girls will spend the class learning to dance as "leads".

Club dues

As of Fall 2008, semesterly dues were $30 (an uncomfortable jump from the $20 dues of 2007).
