August Series

Beginners:
8-count Lindy Hop

Come learn Lindy Hop! You'll build the dance from the basics while learning some of the history of this Black American art form. Our progressive classes are designed to get you social dancing and having a blast at our dance parties in no time.

 

Fundamentals:
Mixing 6s & 8s

You've got your 6 count moves and your 8 count moves. How do you know which one to use? We'll answer that question and more as we bring together all the moves you learned in your beginner classes.

 

Intermediate:
How to Practice

Not getting as much from classes as you used to? Come discover what the best dancers do and still use to change and grow their dancing. We will introduce and practice solo, partnered, and group exercises.

 

WNH Performance Team (Fundamentals+)

Come learn a fun and challenging partner choreography created by Sam and Calvin! Choreography can help us learn new moves, listen to music in different ways, and practice thinking about dance aesthetic and personality.

Fast Room

8/13: DJ Pin

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.
