February 2023 Schedule - Black History Month at Jazz Attack
Updated: Jun 30
Note: This post is from a past year!
Here at Jazz Attack, where Lindy Hop history & culture is Black history & culture, every month is Black History Month. We want to share that far and wide, and as such all beginner & intermediate lessons will be free / pay what you want with dance admission, and all DJ sets will be themed around Black artists of the Swing Era through today.
As a reminder, all beginner and intermediate lessons are drop-in -- no partner required. Beginner lessons don't require any experience! All events are held at the Philadelphia Ethical Society (1906 Rittenhouse Square).
