Get in the Groove - a Hand Dance Workshop
Sunday, February 11
3:00pm - 4:00pm
Enjoy a demo of D.C. hand dancing, a swing dance from the 1920's that's experiencing a revival in the local dance community. Then try your hand at the dance yourself!
Hand dance is a form of swing that involves sliding footwork and continuous hand connection. It began in the 1920's and was popular for decades. It's enjoying a revival in the DC dance scene.
Learn more at this free workshop which will start with a history of the dance style, a demonstration, and finally open dance time for participants to try it for themselves. This event is made possible through the collaboration of Aspen Hill Library and Odyssey Hand Dance Academy.
