Introduction to SwingShoes Task Force

The SwingShoes Task Force is a volunteer group designed to help create awareness for classes and events developed by SwingShoes Entertainment. This is done through marketing, planning, social engagement, and customer loyalty. These key members of the task force were selected based on their desire to expand our dance community and their special skills.
