– White Out Party & Live Music on 12/20 –
The idea behind the White Out party is simple: let’s celebrate the snow! And since there’s no snow here, we’ll have to bring the snow ourselves by wearing white clothing. Make sure to wear something WHITE for the dance, take a picture on the dance floor, and celebrate another year coming to an end with the WNH community! What’s more, there will be live music, come dance with us!
UPCOMING CLASSES & DANCES
We offer four progressive classes and a newcomer taster class every Wednesday night. Progressive classes are organized in monthly series and we encourage students to sign up and attend the whole series. Nevertheless you can usually drop-in, check this FAQ for details. The newcomer taster class is a new class every week and perfect for new dancers.
Some lessons are solo classes, most lessons are partnered classes. Partnered swing dancing is a role based dance. You have to choose between the role of “leader” or the role of “follower”, and stick with it for the duration of the series class or drop-in. Check this FAQ for more information. Unless otherwise specified, you do not need a partner to come to class.
Each dancer must register separately due to our waiver requirement.
The Newcomer Taster class is from 8:15 to 9:15pm. Ticket includes the dance admission. First-come basis, spots are limited so make sure to arrive on time. Door closes at 8:25pm.
Our class series are progressive. If you sign up for a series drop-in after the first week, you will be expected to know the material that was taught the previous weeks.
