Traffic Jam Swing was founded in 2016 as an idea over brunch. The Chicago Swing Dance and Lindy Hop scene is supported by Swing, a non-profit organization in Chicago. By putting on regular dances, leveled classes, and weekend intensive workshops, their goal is to raise awareness of the history, education, and culture of swing dancing in Chicago. They wanted to help the scene grow even more, so they decided to set up a new weekend workshop in the city that focused on vintage jazz. This has been notoriously hard to do because local venues charge a lot of money. Traffic Jam Swing started Traffic Jam! Because they knew what they wanted to do the dance) to begin raising funds for the larger workshop's production. To pay for the first Second City Swingout, they had to run the dance for two full years, but it was well worth it.
