Note: The information above is provided mostly by the local venues, bands, and dancers. This webpage is part of a larger website run by someone who is focused on swing dancing in Boston, Massachusetts and it is provided as a convenience to readers who might be interested in looking for possible dance venues in Kansas. However, I do not live there and do not have the time or money to call every venue regularly for updates (I don't make money off dancing). With that in mind, I suggest calling up the dance venues to confirm their dance events. Please write to dancenet@havetodance.com with any new information that you'd like to share and please review this website's policies before writing in.

Please note that venues are not very good at notifying me of changes so *call ahead*.
