Nick Williams has been an active member of the Austin swing dance scene for several years. He’s thrilled with the fantastic collection of local jazz music and top-notch community his home town has to offer and wants to keep this core running strong for all to discover and be a part of. Nick has a background in music, sound, live events, and communication and is glad to have found a place in the community to do what he loves. He’s ready for another great year at the Austin Swing Syndicate — and as always, ready for some great swing dancing.

Daniel F Young

Secretary

Daniel has been a member of the Board of Directors for the Syndicate for nearly four years. He has been dancing and volunteering at the Mansion since early 2017! A graduate of The University of Texas at Austin in physics and chemistry, Daniel is well-involved in the Swing dancing community as a former teaching assistant for the Texas Swing Dance Society, captain of the club’s performance team, and as a staff and planning coordinator for the Austin Lindy Exchange. He enjoys Lindy-Hop most for its eccentricity and expressive nature, working constantly to improve his own dancing.

Daniel is also an enthusiastic musician, student, and artist. Enthusiastic to learn about the universe and everything within it, he triple-steps slowly, boldly, to the future.

Ale joined the board to help serve her dance family and to help integrate new dancers after volunteering for the last two years. Although only dancing for a year and a half, she is already a masterful and playful dancer, inspiring and showing others what they too can achieve. Join her on the dance floor!
