WEDNESDAY NIGHT HOP

Wednesday Night Hop started swinging in 2005 with the goal to keep Lindy Hop alive and kicking in the South Bay and on the Peninsula. We offer inspiring classes and fun filled swing dance parties every Wednesday. Featuring LIVE MUSIC, fun games and contests, and entertaining party themes.
Learn how to swing dance from scratch or take your Lindy and Balboa to new levels, in a fun and friendly setting. Kick your Wednesdays into high gear with a fabulous night of dancing, great music and good friends. Come join the fun!
Classes Every Week
We offer four progressive classes every Wednesday night. They 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.
Class Curriculum
Our class syllabus is organized into five tracks: Beginners, Journey, Small Groups, Performance, and Balboa. Please check our curriculum page for details.
Registration
Due to covid19 protocols, online registration is currently required. Buy your tickets in advance. We will not be taking cash at the door. You can register with or without a user account. A user account allows you to keep track of what classes you have attended and allows us to keep track of whether we have verified your vaccination status so that you can get through the front desk faster (we do not store any other vaccine information).
Partnered / Solo Classes
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.
Community Fund
WNH wants to provide our community with a way to learn and enjoy Lindy Hop – even when life gets in the way. The community fund is a way for dancers who have a little extra money to help those who cannot afford to take classes or come to dances. More details here.
