While the workshops of the InDansen programme are dedicated to teaching you the basic steps of a lot of dances, this night is all about the party dances. You won’t see a Lindy Hop social without the Shim Sham or a Ballroom party without the Party Cha Cha. So, don’t miss this night where we teach you to master these two classics – and who knows, maybe even more party dances will follow throughout the night.
To stay energized, we will have a potluck dinner together. Please bring some food to share at the potluck
