Comment:

SwingPlanIt - has been around a while, and along with Swing Hopping are probably the best (ie. most complete) for vintage major swing dancing

Dance Cal (and Blues Cal) are the longest-running sites and are still very N. America focussed and only for some US cities

Swing Hopping, LindyPlus and MapDance are new-ish sites (and apps), not likely to list everything yet. However, MapDance does list local dance classes, local gigs & social dances, minor dance events

Map Dance lists ALL dances, and doesn't have a focus solely on swing dance
