Promote Your Event on SwingDance.LA

SwingDance.LA is the number one Google search result for “Los Angeles Swing Dancing” and many other Swing dance-related search terms.  That’s why I encourage you to promote your Swing dance event on SwingDance.LA for free!

Here are some ways for you to promote your swing event, band, lessons, or dance troupe on SwingDance.LA for FREE.

Add Your Event Flyer or Info to the Home Page Feed

The Home page of this site has a feed where you can post your event flyer or description.

This can have a great visual impact, and it’s just below the calendar, where a lot of people will be looking.

In addition, when you post, a URL containing your flyer is automatically generated. If your event doesn’t have a website, this URL can be used to share your flyer on social networks or by email.

Get Your Event on the Lindy Calendar

When you post your flyer or event info on the Home page, I’ll take a look at it, make sure it is truly a Swing dance event, then add it to the Lindy Calendar on the Home page!

The Lindy Calendar Requirements

When you post, I’ll see your event and add it to the calendar if it’s appropriate. To be listed on the Lindy Calendar, your event must meet these conditions:

1. It must have Swing dancing to Swing music!
I will make exceptions for Blues. Sorry, no Tango, Salsa, Ballroom, or West Coast Swing on the Lindy Calendar. And I generally don’t post lessons or else it would get out of control quickly.

Swing-danceable music includes jazz from the 20s through the 40s plus 50s rockabilly or Sinatra type of stuff.

2. It needs to have a dance floor or space to dance.
I won’t post events that don’t have space to dance, such as a jazz concert with no dance floor. In addition, some restaurants and bars don’t have enough space to dance without blocking the view of the band or annoying other patrons. I won’t post events at these venues either so we, the Swing dance community, can be good ambassadors of the dance and not be annoying, and so that partner dancing doesn’t interfere with the venue’s business model.

3. It needs to be in the greater Los Angeles or Orange County area.
If your event is out of town, I encourage you to post it on the comment walls. However, the calendar is only for local events unless it’s a very special big event out of town.

If you have a special event, can work on a special promotion. Let me know what you have in mind. For example, the Hollywood Bowl offered SwingDance.LA readers discount tickets to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Leave a comment below to discuss.

Submit an Article to SwingDance.LA

I’m always looking for content! Talk to me in advance and we can work on an article about your event that would work on SwingDance.LA.

How promoters can contact me

If you want to discuss a special event to promote, you can contact me privately here, or leave a public comment below. If you simply want to add an event to the Lindy Calendar on the home page, please do that at the bottom of the home page.

This form is for promoters only. If you are a dancer with a question, please ask it on one of the comment forms on this site so everyone can benefit from the conversation.

Because I am a swing dancer, I welcome free passes to your events! :-)
