WNH Fast Room
This week, WNH will be dedicating 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 in mind. If you’ve ever been curious about any of these dances, this is your chance to see (and dance) them first hand.
May 20: Virtual DJ training class at 10:30am by Alex Fernandez
Did you ever look at the DJ booth at WNH, and thought "I think I could do that!". WNH is hosting an online workshop with none other than Bay Area favorite Alex Fernandez, who will introduce you to the world of swing dance DJing. This is meant not only for long time dancers who are nearly ready to DJ but also those just curious and early in their interest. Check our website to RSVP for free.
