Lindy 2: Connection CANCELLED tonight (July 27th)

Jul. 27, 2026

Lindy 2: Connection and the dance after class are both CANCELLED TONIGHT

Unfortunately, the venue lost power after a truck struck a nearby utility pole, and they do not expect electricity to be restored before this evening.

If you registered with a partner, please let them know so they don't make the trip to a dark, closed venue.

We'll email everyone in the next few days with an update on how this will affect the remaining class schedule. If the rescheduled date(s) don't work for you, we're happy to offer a full or partial refund, depending on the circumstances.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

About Boston Lindy Hop

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.
