July 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. Our progressive classes are designed to get you social dancing and having a blast at our dance parties in no time.

 

Fundamentals: Swingout Individual Variations

Swingouts — the defining move of Lindy Hop. In this class, we'll work on your swingouts and give you a handful of individual variations you can use anywhere in your dancing. 

 

Balboba & Croissants 🧋🥐

Tea, sugar, and buttery layers... What more could you need? We'll dive deep into satisfying textures, challenging technique, and uncommon combos in pure bal and bal-swing.

 

WNH Performance Team (Fundamentals+)

Come learn a fun and challenging partner choreography created by Sam and Calvin! Choreography can help us learn new moves, listen to music in different ways, and practice thinking about dance aesthetic and personality.

Fast Room

7/8: DJ music

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.

7/15 – Ice Cream Social

Beat the August heat with a sweet treat! Cool down between dances and enjoy a scoop (or two) of ice cream. We’ll be providing various flavors for you to have a dance with your tastebuds.
