Moonlight in the Marsh: Aug 18 dance open for registration

Aug. 8, 2025

Join us Moonlight in the Marsh on Aug. 18 for a magical night of dancing under the stars with live music from our friends, the River Street Six. Dressing up is optional, but we love to see it, especially in shades of green such as emerald, hunter, olive, jade, celadon, forest, lime, or chartreuse. Swamp-inspired colors, moonlit blues, silvery whites, or nature tones are also perfect. Since it’s a swamp-themed summer night, lighter, breathable fabrics will help you stay cool while looking fabulous. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door (if available), and we expect this event to sell out.

Register here: https://bostonlindyhop.com/events/2025/August/blh-moonlight-marsh-dance/.

Note: BLH cannot facilitate ticket swaps or waitlists; if you arrange your own transfer, please email us by 12 PM on August 18 so we can update the door list.

What is Lindy Hop?

Lindy Hop is the original Swing Dance, developed by the Black community to jazz music in Harlem, New York during the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s and 1930s.  There are numerous other swing dances out there, but virtually all of them evolved out of the patterns and rhythms of the Lindy Hop.  The dance still has a large and active following throughout the world today!

You can learn more about the history of the dance from this Yehoodi film.
