Level 1 (8:15pm - 9:15pm)
w/ Shannon & Gilles
8-Count Lindy Hop

(Note: we have added a second 8-count Lindy Hop class series to our level 1 curriculum.)

When you really want to dig that swing beat, there’s nothing like 8-count Lindy Hop! We will start with the basics, from zero dance experience on up, and get you swinging around the dance floor in no time! This is a progressive 4-week class; show up on the first week to get maximum benefit.

PRE-REQUISITES: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!

SHANNON LEA WATKINS & GILLES BOUVIER
 
 

Level 2 (7:15pm - 8:15pm)
w/ Shannon & Gilles
6 & 8 Counts Remixed

When the worlds of 8- and 6-count swing collide, amazing dancing results! Join us in learning some of the classic and awesome 6/8 count moves you see on the dance floor. You might think we'll be baking, with moves that include words like "roll" and "sugar", and you won't be far off as we explore the recipe for mixing them into more texture-rich dancing!

PRE-REQUISITES: Level 1A-D; twice through recommended. Execute a swingout, lindy circle, charleston and 6-count moves and transition between them in open and closed positions. No partner required, just bring your enthusiasm!

SHANNON LEA WATKINS & GILLES BOUVIER
 
 

Level 3 (7:15pm - 8:15pm)
w/ Ellen & Paul
Fast Charleston

Fasten your seatbelts, and prepare to hit the track: charleston shines when in its native element...the raceway. This series focuses on advanced charleston technique, allowing clear and efficient leading and following at fast tempos, giving you the skills (and figures) to evolve your social dance game. These techniques apply to standard-tempos as well, so this class is for you if you're looking to speed things up, or looking to enhance your general charleston understanding!

PRE-REQUISITES: At least nine consecutive months of Level 1 and Level 2 including one full year of social dance, or discuss your eligibility with instructors.  Under-qualified students will be asked to transfer to Level 2 in order to strengthen their fundamentals.

ELLEN HUFFMAN & PAUL CSONKA
 
 

Elective (8:15pm - 9:15pm)
w/ Katie & Chris
Balboa Basics

Originating in the Balboa Peninsula of Orange County, Balboa combines intricate footwork with smooth body movement, to create a dynamic and fast-paced dance that is fun to watch but even more fun to do!  Great for beginners or if you have taken Balboa Fundamentals.  This class will add on basic vocabulary to your Pure Bal and Bal-Swing foundations.

PRE-REQUISITES: 3 months of Level 1 and/or Balboa Fundamentals. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!

KATIE O'NEILL & CHRIS ENRIQUEZ
 
 

WNH Anniversary w/ Clint Baker's New Orleans Jazz Band

CLINT BAKER'S NEW ORLEANS JAZZ BAND

WNH is turning 11! Over the years, we grew from a very small venue to a pretty large one; we changed locations across three different cities; the dancers, the volunteers, the organizers came and went; but what has stayed the same is the sense of a welcoming, friendly community, and amazing fun! Come celebrate with us to Clint Baker's NOJB, and take a picture in the photo booth!

 

Next Week:
Live Music w/ Solomon Douglas' Quartet

SOLOMON DOUGLAS

Yes, you read it right -- two great bands back to back! But Solomon was in town and we jumped on this opportunity. Can we handle two weeks of dancing to exciting swing music? We think we can!
