My name is David Tritel, and I am the owner and instructor for the Sioux Falls Swing Experience.
For over a year now, every time someone finds out that I moved out to Sioux Falls from California, I hear the same question. “Why?” Well, lots of reasons… but only one important one.
Swing dance is my life. I live it, I eat it, I drink it, I breathe it, most importantly, I dance it. It’s brought me more joy and excitement than anything else in my life, not to mention friends across the world. And the more people I talk to, the more I realize that most people don’t have an activity that they are passionate about, or a community to be part of that brings them that kind of joy… yet.
Sioux Falls is a wonderful place. Once you get past our world-famous winters, you find a beautiful city that is one of the largest commercial and cultural centers in the Midwest. The people here in Sioux Falls are important to the rest of the world, but they are missing out. There are ways to live so that you can look at yourself in the mirror every day, proud of who you are and what you are part of. There are ways to make your life passionate and exciting and, most of all, fun. Swing dance is one of them.
I moved here to share with Sioux Falls the wonderful experience of swing dance that someone, many years ago, changed my life by sharing with me.
