Announcements

Black History Month
The origins of Lindy Hop are deeply rooted in the African-American community. Learn more about Black American culture and history by attending Black History Month celebration events.
If you attend such event near you this February, bring the receipt (or a selfie) to the front desk for free entry to that night’s dance party.
Swingin' at The Savoy
SATS is back on Feb 27 - Mar 1. Grab a dance pass and/or sign up for special topics morning classes. Attend the free Meet & Greet with legends of African American vernacular dance Sugar Sullivan & Barbara Billups.
Balentine's Day, Balboa Month
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Lindy Hop is great, And we ❤️ balboa too. Celebrate Balentine’s Day with us. We have two Balboa series this month.
We are exceptionally moving the fast room to KHall this month. This means more room to move fast on a slightly sleeker floor.

Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month, Wednesday Night Hop invites you to honor and celebrate swing dancing as a vital part of Black American culture and history.

To learn this dance is to learn its roots, so we may carry it forward with respect, responsibility, and care.

And, don't forget Swingin' at the Savoy!

2/4: Heidi Evelyn’s Savoy Sweethearts

If you love hot swing riffs and sweet melodies, the Savoy Sweethearts bring the authentic sound and spirit of late-1930s and early-1940s swing, inspired by the legendary Harlem Savoy Ballroom.

February Series

Beginners: 8-count Lindy Hop

Come learn Lindy Hop! Build the dance from the basics while exploring its history as a Black American art form. Our progressive classes get you social dancing fast —no partner needed, just comfy shoes and enthusiasm!

Fundamentals: Mixing 6s & 8s

You’ve learned 6-count and 8-count moves—but which do you use? We’ll combine your beginner material, practice follower-initiated movement, and sharpen musicality, plus explore the jazz musicians behind the songs.

Intermediate: Intro to Balboa

Have you seen the fast room and wanted to join but didn’t know how? Join us to learn the basics of balboa, from pure bal to bal swing. We’ll get you set up to start dancing fast!

Audition: Hitting the Breaks

Ever see dancers execute sequences so perfectly matched to the music you wonder if it’s choreographed? Take this class to adapt flashy moves and variations to music, creating memorable moments. With nuanced connection and musical perception, you can hit breaks with style.

Adventure: You Spin Me Right Round (Balboa Edition)

Originating in the 1930’s, this floaty and rhythmic partnered swing dance is often done to faster tempos with close connections. Through this class, you’ll have a chance to try out a bunch of fundamental Balboa shapes to take to the dance floor.

Balentine's Day Fast Room

2/11: DJ Margot

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!
