Wednesday Night Hop is proud to announce "California Swingin'", our second Jazz and Dance History Workshop. That's right; this time we will focus on the fantastic stylings and dances done on our very own left coast including the legacy that Dean Collins and Jewel McGowan left for us and birth of Balboa and Bal-Swing.
We'll be offering six different classes in three time slots during the day. This interspersed with two fantastic lectures, one focusing on swing dance history in California and the second lecture given by Carl Sonny Leyland, jazz pianist, and quite the historian as well.
