Next Week: White Out Party
With Free Photobooth!
At the WHITEout party we celebrate the spirit of winter! We dress up all WHITE, dance and twirl and be merry, and -- take a picture in our free photobooth! At our last WNH of 2017, let's say goodbye and thank you to all the happy and the sad that we've had, and let's make a wish for good times to greet us in 2018!
Lindy Hop is happiness in its purest form... therefore a gift certificate to learn it is the perfect gift for any occasion!
Keep it Swingin'! See you out on the dance floor!
