See you this Wednesday for our damce at BROADWAY HALL WITH LIVE MUSIC AND A DANMCE PERFORMANCE . Sorry for yelling. I’m just stoked. Christian Cassolary is playing, and the The Rhythm Belles are performing 🤯 So many people have asked me where Broadway hall is, and the exact same number of people were disappointed when I said it’s on Broadway. It’s on Broadway. 1300 Broadway. Now I know. Now you know. See you there. 🪿

FALL FUN! 🤩 basically a buffet of fun. A luge of fun. Sign up for the fun at bhamhop.com

🍤 beginner classes are back! 7pm every Wednesday starting September 9th.

🦐 September Intermediate Series with Thain Maurer - Slow Jazz and Jazzy Blues:
Dancing slow is one of the best ways to increase your power level. You get specificity, balance, patience, and the ability to Rool the Skool when the slow song comes on in the lunchroom.

🦞 Porfremonce Team
Folks, we’ve got a platinum-plated diamond-ball opportunity coming up. Vancouver dancers are hosting a convivial contest weekend up there Jan 15-16. It’s for local dancers only, but they’ve adopted Bellingham into their neighborhood. It’s time to make them pay for their decision, by preparing an undeniable choreography and crushing them all with it.
-Porfremonce team is for intermediate/advanced dancers
-Thursdays 7:30-9:00
-October 8 - January 14
-Quit mopin’ and start hopin’, registration is open

🌶️ STEPSTRAVAGANZA rides again!
It’s a day with 3 hours of workshops by yours truly’s dance partner, Bailey McCully, and yours truly’s dance partner’s dance partner, Damian. The evening includes a live band dance featuring Seattle’s Cloud Drops. We’re hammering out dates but it will most likely be near the end of 2026. Just block off every Saturday between now and New Years and you’ll be set.
It’ll be at the Oddfellows Temple Room like last time

🦑Rhythm City Mess Around
One of the Northwest’s best jazz dance festivals

The lineup this year is wtf good
You can get a pair of excellent SAF dance shoes for inconceivable prices on Friday and Saturday saf shoes

We’re back starting on September 9th, BUT!! We dance on Wednesdays from now on!! 🤯 (same schedule, new day: classes at 7pm, social dancing 8-9:30)

We know just how big this is. Henceforth, this new period of history will be called the Triumphant Era. All dates prior to September 9th will be labeled B.T.E. (Before Triumphant Era) and all dates after will be labeled A.B.R. (After Ballers Ruled). For example, the opening (and closing) of Willy’s Chocolate Experience in Glasgow will now have taken place February 24, 2 BTE (because it was 2 years ago). Another example: the day Damian will pay off his student loans will be August 1, 55 ABR because he will be 94 years old when it happens.

To that end, we will continue to offer classes through B’ham Hop, so that we can make $1 or $2 sometimes. I’ve heard it said that the only way up is down.
