Turku Swing Society Ry<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

We are a vibrant rock'n'swing partner dance association specializing in swing dances and Argentine tango. Turku Swing Society (TSS) was established in October 2005, and our goal is to promote swing dances and Argentine tango and to be more than just a dance association. We strive to create a community where everyone is on an equal footing and where everyone is included and valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We organise weekly lessons of Lindy Hop<\/a>, West Coast Swing<\/a> and Argentine Tango<\/a> in the autumn and spring seasons depending on availability. We also hold dance parties and free practices throughout the year and offer occasional classes in the summer. We also organise different weekend and intensive courses. We offer lessons by level groups from the very beginners to those who have been dancing for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We inform about upcoming events and other current matters on our website, in our member newsletter, and on social media. Read more about our communication here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can find the association's current rules<\/a>, action plan, activity report<\/a> and privacy policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
