Fast Room
7/10: DJ Stormenta
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!
Theme Party
7/17: Lindy Summer Party
Ah, the joys of summer! Warm summer nights, the whisper of ocean waves with silky sand, or maybe the crisp air of your favorite mountain peak. Come and dance to celebrate this special time of the year wearing your favorite summer outfit.
Volunteer
We have volunteering opportunities to help get you into the dance and lessons for free.
