    November Series

    Beginners: 8-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. 

     

    Core Concepts: Flying with Charleston

    In this class, we will drill basic charleston technique and learn some fun charleston vocabulary that you can bring to social partner dancing. We will cover charleston variations in 6 and 8 count, sailor kick, and airplanes. Get ready to kick away!

     

    Adventure: Intermediate Balboa: Technique

    As requested: a technique-focused balboa class! We will address how to make every balboa dance feel better by diving deeply into connection, rhythm, weight shifts, pulse, and rotational stretch.

     

    Deep Dive: Turning Down The Line

    We'll talk about negotiating and navigating linear vs rotational momentum, and how we can apply that to your turning fundamentals to make your turns smooth, relaxed, and flexible with a lot of different stylings!

    Fast Room

    11/13: DJ Rolling Pin

    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!
