September Series
Beginners:
Mixed-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: Partnered Charleston Variations
We'll learn all about partnered Charleston and you'll get to try exciting moves such as barn doors, airplanes, and hand-to-hand. If you're looking for a way to dance to faster music — this class will give you plenty of moves!
Intermediate:
Exploring the World of Charleston
We LOVE Charleston! We’ll cover: transitioning between Lindy Hop & Charleston, super fun variations in a couple of our favorite connection styles, and most of all, how to bring flow into your Charleston dancing.
Beginner Balboa: Pure Bal
Come learn the basics of balboa! This month will focus primarily on technique and vocabulary in "pure" or closed position balboa. As a beginner class, you will have extra time to practice each move and ask questions.
Audition: The Secrets of Highly Successful Dancers
we will take a highly detailed look at some skills that differentiate really great Lindy Hoppers from pretty good Lindy Hoppers. We'll investigate the WHY behind a lot of things you may have learned in your few years of classes.
Fast Room
9/9: DJ Anton
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.
9/16 – Clothing Swap Theme Party
Bring your gently used clean clothing & accessories and trade them for some fresh fashion finds! All genders, all sizes, all eras (vintage & modern) of clothing welcome. Any unclaimed items at the end of the swap will be donated to a local non-profit.
Volunteer
We have volunteering opportunities to help get you into the dance and lessons for free.
Gift Certificates
Lindy Hop is happiness in its purest form... therefore a gift certificate to learn it is the perfect gift for any occasion!
Community Fund
Have a little extra money? Help those who cannot afford to take classes or come to dances. Anybody can donate. Anyone can ask to be subsidized.
Keep it Swingin'
See you out on the dance floor!
