Part 2 !

Instead of going to ILHC  

 The Harlem Swing Dance Society (THSDS)

 President Barbara A. Jones 

decided to check out Ol' Skool DC Hand Dance at

 The Chateau, and New Skool DC Hand Dance at

 The Eclipse - both exciting local Dance Halls in DC 

and great experiences!

DC Hand Dancers are 

PROUD of their dance heritage and

 recognize their Swing dance roots. 

THSDS is working in Harlem 

so the same awareness, appreciation, pride in

 The Lindy Hop and Swing Dance grows...

TODAY September 28th in DC you can see 


The Lindy Hop and DC Hand Dance Legends 


discuss their dance roots and heritage
