Downbeat Vintage Swing Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit in Bozeman Montana, focusing on spreading vintage swing dancing as a form of community building, a healthy activity, and piece of living American history.

We offer classes and workshops, practice space, private lessons, and opportunities to perform. We have a fun-loving, social group that welcomes all new members – no partner or prior dance experience necessary to join!

Our Mission

We believe that anyone, at any age or level of experience, can easily pick up and fall in love with swing dance. In fact, many of our current members claim to never have danced a step before joining!

Dance can be an exciting outlet for creative expression, and we work hard to create a warm, friendly, and welcoming environment. Besides learning to dance, you’ll find an amazing social world to explore and enjoy with ongoing dances as well as special events.
