    September Series

    Beginners: 6-count Lindy Hop

    Come learn Lindy Hop! You'll build the dance from the basics while learning some of the history of this Black American art form.

    ☀️ This is the third month of our 3-month Summer Swing Program.

     

    Core Concepts: Swingout Workshop

    We love a great swingout! It has pulse, rotation, pacing, counter-balance, all the fun stuff. In this month’s swingout workshop, we’ll dive into the foundational techniques as well as some interesting variations of swingouts.

     

    Adventure: Intro to Competing

    Competitions have been a big part of Lindy Hop history. Ever been curious about competing, or wanting to prepare for our upcoming Harvest Moon Mix & Match? This class is for you.

     

    Deep Dive: A Dancer's Tookit

    Build continuous improvement and adaptation into your experience on and off the dance floor. We’ll explore concepts like balance, pacing, transitions, timing, and rhythm variations.

    Fast Room

    9/11: DJ Chris

    WNH will dedicate a room to all things “fast swing.” This could mean uptempo Lindy Hop, or dancing other swing dances such as Balboa or Collegiate Shag that evolved with faster music. Give it a whirl!
