Get in the Groove - a Hand Dance Workshop

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.
