Tuesday is World Lindy Hop Day / Balboa Social 7-9pm at the Athenaeum !

May 26th is World Lindy Hop Day, and we're collaborating with Back Home Again in Indiana to offer a FULL WEEK of dancing leading up to their event.
This will be a mix of learning and social dancing. Instructors will be available for 1-1 or small group mini-lessons throughout the night, and DJ'd social dancing when you're not in office hours!

No prior experience with Balboa needed - Lindy Hop is welcome as we celebrate the history of swing dance. Want to learn? You can get a taster here, then take the Balboa classes offered at BHAII with the amazing Desiree Roffers and Dylan Devotta.

It might have been a day late (thanks technology), but the first "Tuesday News Day" email went out yesterday! It was targeted to those who have interacted with previous emails or expressed interest in Balboa this spring - so if you don't see it (and want to!), make sure to reach out so we put you on the list! 🤩

It's Tuesday, which means... SES news! 📰

ICYMI - We are pausing official operations for the winter term. *BUT* our amazing community has taken up the banner to continue dancing! 🥳

Check your emails tomorrow for all the news you need to hop in on small group practices, social dancing, or private lessons - all sorts of different options around the city to help you feel fulfilled with your dancing while bonding with friends.

Quick tip - capacity at these events will be limited, so make sure to let us know what options you want to take part in. ☺️

See you in the new year! 🎆

Last week we tackled pivots - what's on your list for our *last* Balboa session of 2025?

We have just TWO Tuesdays left before pausing for winter break. Are you coming this week or next? (Or going for gold on perfect attendance this fall by doing both?)

We're back! Join us Tuesday at 7pm for the last couple weeks of Balboa for 2025 😍

Reminder - There is NO DANCING this week for the holiday. We love each and every member of our community and are so grateful for all of your support. We hope that you all have a safe, restful, and cozy Thanksgiving. The world is a lot right now - please know we are always here to support and provide a space for friends to get together.

By request - for our last class of November, we'll tackle some crossbody exits from different moves. Make sure to stretch your obliques!!
