June 2023 at Jazz Attack
Updated: Jun 2
Hey dancers! We've got a special month coming up at Jazz Attack, welcoming a traveling Lindy Hop show, hosting our first pride night, and celebrating Juneteenth! Come dance through it all with us! We have beginner-friendly and more advanced lessons every week, and live music the second Thursday of the month. All events are held at the Philadelphia Ethical Society (1906 Rittenhouse Square).
So whether you just heard about us from the Philly Food Ladies (thanks for the shout out!) or you're here for your hundredth Lindy Hop lesson & dance, we've got the perfect Thursday night in Philly for you. Swing dance is a great way to meet new people, get some exercise, strengthen your brain, and just let out any of the week's stressors.
