IMPORTANT: this and next Wednesday there will be events at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, which means there will be lots and lots of traffic. Plan accordingly, give yourself plenty of extra time to get to WNH, and don't be late for your classes!

Lindy Luau was a blast! Thank you all for celebrating the Summer with us, and congratulations to Eli and Paul for co-winning the limbo contest, and to Allie and Rikkie, the winner and the runner-up of the hula hoop contest!

Next Wednesday, the 30th, is a fifth Wednesday this month, which means that we're having special workshop classes prepared for you. These wonderful little classes cover topics outside of the normal curriculum and are the cherry on the top of your dancing! Please note that these classes are drop-in and are not included in the price of your 4-week registration.

1. THIS WEEK: July Series Conclude! Summer Swing! DJ Dhruv!

You can join the Summer Swing program till the end of this month! Three months of Level 1 classes for the price of two -- a great way to introduce a friend to the joys of Lindy Hop, or to learn the opposite role!
