About THE NEXT GENERATION SWING DANCE CLUB INC

“TNGSDC” OR NEXTGEN? The legal name of the club is “The Next Generation Swing Dance Club”. We often refer to the Club by it’s nickname “Next Gen”, especially in conversation or more informal documentation. We will sometimes also use the abbreviation “TNGSDC”, and our first website used the domain “tngsdc.org”.

At the original meeting of interested dancers, in 1989, suggestions for possible Club names came down to a vote between “The Next Generation Swing Dance Club” or “Rock n’ Rhythm Swing Dance Club”. The final vote was 27 to 25, in favor of TNGSDC. TNGSDC was suggested by Steve Wong, an avid Star Trek fan. Steve got the idea from a conversation he had with one of the older swing dancers who told him she was glad to see that the next generation of swing dancers had come along to keep swing dancing alive.
