Welcome to WCLX 13!

Welcome to the 13th annual Windy City Lindy Exchange! It's hard to believe that it's been 13 years since a group of dancers from Chicago visited San Francisco and started the phenomenon which is now known as the lindy exchange!! What began as a way to experience the dance scene and culture of a different city has evolved into large events where people from all over the country and even other parts of the world will converge on one city for a weekend to dance.

Able to host?

Please contact housing to host our out of town guests.

Wanna volunteer?

It takes a lot of effort to put up an exchange. Please send us an email at volunteering if you want to volunteer. Volunteers will be compensated.
