PLEASE NOTE: In efforts to ensure an enjoyable experience for our attendees, Carolina Summer Swing will be capping the event at 500 weekend passes. We did not make this decision lightly, but it is our desire and commitment to ensure that the dance floor and event can accommodate those who attend in a comfortable and welcoming manner based on space considerations and other factors.

Our goal is to create a comfortable and enjoyable swing dance experience. To achieve this, we are capping attendance for Carolina Summer Swing 2025 at 500 attendees.

To help ensure a balance of leaders and followers, we are introducing 3 new types of full weekend passes, described below, which will be released in “blocks”. Each block will contain 50 passes of each type. When the block completely sells out, a new block will be released.

All Star, International, Military, and Student passes will also be available. We will monitor the sales of these pass sales for role balance as well.

SAVE!! Find a companion and register for the specially-priced Discounted Leader/Follower Combo passes! Register early (1st Block) and save even more.
