Welcome to the eleventh annual Windy City Lindy Exchange! It's hard to believe that it's been eleven years since a group of dancers from Chicago visited San Francisco and started the phenomenon which is now known as a 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.
