Nick Williams, in partnership with the Pacific Swing Dance Foundation, is throwing a spectacular live-stream swing show coming straight to your home. The purpose of the benefit show is to raise money for full-time swing dance instructors and full-time musicians who have been financially hit by Covid-19. The money raised in the show will compensate the performers for their time, and all additional funds raised will go to a fund for dancers and musicians. Any full-time dancer or musician will be able to apply for the funds we raise through PSDF.

Complete details are available at our Rhythm Relief page.

Patrons at or above the $50 level will receive an enamel pin from Pacific Swing Dance Foundation.

  13. Thank you so much for this wonderful performance! Swing dancing has been life changing for me and I so appreciate all of the wonderful instructors, musicians, and many contributors who make the swing dance community accessible to people all over the world.

  14. I only watched an hour, to date, but the music and dancing was fantastic. I don’t get around much anymore, but it was so good to see old friends perform. It was delightful to see how dancers and musicians incorporated technology to share the art form with the world. Well done, everyone, stay safe and healthy and thank you for keeping the music and the dance alive!
