The LSE has had a long history with Swing Dance. In 2000, Dawn Wong (www.swingstatelondon.com ) set up the LSE Swing dance society with just a handful of fellow students. However, with the support of the London scene, the LSE Swing Dance society continued on for more than 20 years after its foundation and after its initial members graduated.
