Welcome to Swing Knights @ UCF

We are the Swing Knights @ UCF, a collegiate swing club located in beautiful Orlando, Florida! We hope to represent UCF in a positive way and help to keep the Orlando swing dancing community flourishing. We host dances every Friday night as well as other events throughout the year.

Keep your eyes on our site, and on our Facebook page, for updates on dances and lessons. More information will be posted here as things progress. See you on the Dance Floor!

No Dances during UCF Winter Break!

Thank you to all who attended our Winter Formal! Everyone danced very and well and looked fantastic! We will see you on a Friday, January 4th for our FIRST SWING DANCE of 2013!

Our home is the UCF Ferrell Commons Auditorium. Our dances, $5 each, feature a $1 beginner lesson from 8:30-9:00 pm prior to the dance, while the dancing itself continues from 9pm until midnight. Swing, Lindy Hop, Charleston and Balboa is enthusiastically danced, as dj’d vintage swing music fills the room. Everyone, student or not, is welcome, so come on out for an evening of fun!

You can find directions here!
And our weekly Facebook event is posted here!
