Dance Information

Located on the upper level of Clothier Hall at Swarthmore College (500 College Avenue, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA) a large communal room features exposed wooden beams and high-reaching windows, giving the Tarble space a distinctive character.

Housed within a neo-Gothic structure built from grey stone, this expansive interior has long served as the college's primary indoor venue for social events.

Over the years, it has hosted numerous dances, including seasonal celebrations such as Spring Balls, Hogmanay events, and the annual English-Scottish Ball organised by the Swarthmore Folk Dance Club.

Swarthmore College is a private liberal arts institution located in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It was established in the 19th century and has maintained a non-sectarian identity, although it was originally founded by members of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers.

The college offers undergraduate education across a wide range of disciplines in the arts and sciences, with students able to choose from numerous majors and minors. It is part of a cooperative arrangement with two nearby colleges, allowing cross-registration and shared academic resources.

Swarthmore operates on a semester system and follows an honours programme in addition to its standard curriculum. The campus includes a combination of historic and modern buildings, and it is home to the Scott Arboretum, a landscaped area featuring a large variety of plant species.

The college has a relatively small student population, with a low student-to-faculty ratio, and admission is highly selective. It supports a number of student organisations and cultural events and maintains a commitment to financial aid for those who qualify.
