It was a great time at last week's classes and social dance 😄 Y'all weren't "messing around" and worked hard learning 8-count basics and variations!

Stay tuned for this summer's schedule!

Happy birthday to The Lady Dawn Hampton! Performing from the age of three until her passing in 2016, Dawn was an amazing—and spunky—light amongst the Lindy Hop community.

To say it was an honor to learn from her in person is an understatement. Full of life, her passion emanated from her and she enthusiastically shared with us: her words of wisdom, humor, and natural way of moving to the music.

✨️ Simply unforgettable ✨️

Did you know?

Not only is today International Jazz Appreciation Day, but April is also Harvest Moon Ball Champion Ruth "Sugar" Sullivan's birthday month! At 96 years young, she's still dancing and teaching the younger generations the Lindy Hop!

It's been so fun having learned from and danced alongside you throughout the years, Ms. Sugar! 💕

It's already April and we're not foolin' anyone! That means you're one week closer to joining the fun on the dance floor...
