"Swing" is America's Dance and it has been exported all around the world since the 1940s. Because it is a truly Global dance, we have formed an association comprised of Swing Deejays from North America and Overseas who play the music that dancers Swing to. It is called the Global Swing Deejays Group. Its mission is to provide our member deejays with an International Forum to encourage robust discussion about the music we play, to share knowledge about deejay equipment, to comment about music industry developments, and to promote fraternity among its members.

Each month our members post Ten Swing Songs that they recommend for play at Swing dance events. A few times a year we arrange informal gathering at Swing events around the country to share thoughts and get more acquainted with each other.

If you are interested in becoming a member of GlobalSwingDJs, please send us a brief bio of your deejaying experience to: msl8nite@sbcglobal.net.

* We do not share any commercially available tracks or albums through our discussion forum and we do not condone copyright infringement.
