volunteering
The Oklahoma Swing Syndicate is run entirely by volunteers who love to dance. From the elected board of directors to everyone who puts up a chair at the end of an evening, our organization is successful due to the time and talents shared by our members.
If you enjoy dancing with us and would like to get more involved, we want to hear from you! Our volunteer team enjoys great perks like free admission to dances and special events.

what is lindy hop?
Lindy Hop is an American social dance, from the swing dance family. It evolved in Harlem, New York City in the 1920s and '30s and originally evolved with the jazz music of that time. Lindy was a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway and Charleston. It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family. TOSS is dedicated to preserving this dance and its related forms of 6-Count Swing and Charleston in the region
