New Location: Tips and Rules

We are very excited about our new location! With the gorgeous space that FUMC is offering us in the middle of downtown Palo Alto with all its great food options, what's not to love? However, some things are different; please take a moment to read through the following list to help you make your experience at WNH's new location the best it can be.

Come Earlier
We can't stress this one enough. Please allow yourself plenty of time to figure out parking, and navigate the new building; with the earlier ending time (see below) we'll be stricter about starting and ending classes on time.

Bring More Shirts
Our main floor is gorgeous, but doesn't have AC. There will be fans aplenty, but please consider bringing more shirts to change, in case you need them.

Absolutely No Food On Dance Floors
There's a kitchenette area where we'll have our usual snacks. Please don't carry any food onto the dance floor. It's truly gorgeous, let's leave it this way!

Don't Go Where You're Not Supposed To
FUMC is a big and beautiful building, but we're only renting a part of it. We'll have signs blocking off the parts of the building where we're not allowed. Please help us out by not going past these signs.

Dances Will End at 11:45
Our new venue is in a residential area, therefore an earlier ending time. Please be considerate of our new neighbors and leave the venue quietly.

No Band in October
We are doing a soft-reopening to make sure we respect the sound level limit. We will have live music on November, 4th. In the meantime, keep your eyes open for the fun themes and parties coming up this month.

November Classes: Sneak Preview

Level 1 (8:15pm - 9:15pm)
w/ Carla & Philippe
8-count Lindy Hop

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!

Level 2 (7:15pm - 8:15pm)
w/ Carla & Philippe
Charleston

Add some pizzazz to your Charleston by kicking and double-kicking our way through "airplane" charleston, Hand-to-Hand moves, Hack-saws and Kick-Throughs. We'll even make the magical mix of Charleston Swing-Outs to really get you flying through those swingin' beats! This is a progressive 4-week class; show up on the first week to get maximum benefit.

PRE-REQUISITES: Level 1A-C; 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!

Level 3 (7:15pm - 8:15pm)
w/ Katie & Paul
Musicality through Footwork and Styling

So many times we dance creatively "safe" dances by sticking to the same old combinations or styling. We're afraid of boring ourselves and our partner, but we're also afraid of messing something up. Come to this class full of courage and leave it with some inspiration! With the limitless world of jazz musicality as our guide, we will explore new and fancy footwork and variations to spice up your arsenal.

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.

Elective (8:15pm - 9:15pm)
w/ Hanah & Eliott
Jazz Up Your Partnered Basics

They say you must learn to play by yourself before you play with others, so how do you make that jump to partnered playtime? This class will teach you new solo jazz moves for every level of learner and also how to execute them in slick partnered moves. Adding jazz roots to your movement will make any partnered dance more fun, authentic, and playful!

PRE-REQUISITES: Having completed 3 months of Level 1. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes.
