Newcomer Taster Drop-in Class (8:15-9:15 pm)

All levels are welcome; no dance experience is needed!
We will explore the essential history and movement for vintage swing dances. Jump-start into partnered dancing and enjoy entry to the social dance afterward to practice your new skills and meet new friends.

DJ Dance Party (9:30-11:30 pm) 

No partner or experience is required, just show up with comfortable shoes. We would love to dance with you!

March Class Series (5 weeks) 

We do not offer drop-ins in class series. So make sure to register for monthly class series before the first Wednesday of the month!

Spring Field Day Party

Get ready to swing into spring with our Field Day on March 15th! Our DJ's set break will feature some games that will take you back to field days of your youth -- think three legged race, egg-on-spoon balancing action, and relay races, along with fun spring-related prizes! This is the perfect opportunity to dust off your dancing shoes and shake off the winter blues. Whether you're an experienced dancer or just starting out, our friendly and welcoming community will make sure you have a blast.

Put it on your calendar!

March 29: Photo Day w/ Aurelia Santos

Wednesday Night Hop needs new pictures! Most of our advertising showcases our pre-pandemic, non-masked dancers; we love them, but it doesn't reflect the dance floor we have now. We are inviting local dancer-organizer and professional photographer Aurelia Santos to join us on our live band night on March 29th to take photos of our community dancing the night away! This is a fair warning to dress in your fanciest duds or swingiest styles, if you care about that sort of thing, or stick with the casual flair and dance your heart out! We will have special stickers for people who don't like to be photographed directly, but please be aware that you may still show up indistinctly or in backgrounds. Photographer Santos is being paid for her time and expertise, and if you're interested in her work, you can check out her excellent portfolio and rates on her website: aueysantos.com

Volunteering

Love dancing but don't want to spend money? Or maybe you want to find ways to give back and help run the Wednesday Night Hop community. In either case, you can sign up to volunteer with us to get free access to our dances and lessons. Subscribe to the volunteer email list using  this form.

Community Fund Donation

This is a way for dancers who have a little extra money to help those who cannot afford to take classes or come to dances. Anybody can donate, and anyone can ask to be subsidized. Find out details and donate on our website.

Keep it Swingin'!
See you out on the dance floor!
