    September Series

    Beginners:
    6-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. 

     

    Fundamentals: Partnered Charleston Variation

    Learn all about partnered Charleston, with exciting moves such as barn doors, airplanes, and hand-to-hand.

    ☀️ This is the third month of our 3-month Summer Swing Program.

     

    Intermediate: Swingout Workshop

    The Lindy Hop’s defining move blends flow, rhythm, and creativity. Join us to make your swing-out more connected and dynamic! Learn to tune into your movement, your partner, and the music to express yourself in every swing out.

     

    Adventure: Intermediate Balboa - All The Things

    We’ll explore how Blues and Swing shaped each other across the U.S and learn Savoy Walk, Boogie, and Texas Shuffle. Each rooted in Blues values yet with its own style and rhythm. By the end, you’ll be ready to dance to a wide range of blues music.

     

    Audition: STFO!!!

    We believe 180 bpm isn’t the limit, it’s just where Lindy Hop starts to shine! Dancing comfortably at faster tempos is key for contest prelims, tough workshop tracks, or rippin’ jam circles. Come learn to dance Lindy Hop fast: staying cool under speed and having fun, not just hanging on.

    Fast Room

    9/10: Fast Room Night

    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!
