As of November 2023, our hotel room block for Lindy Focus is full. However; this does not mean that the hotel is 100% sold out. There may be rooms that are still available outside of our block, and rooms inside of our block that could become available later on.

Lindy Hop dance events are a great way to meet new people, learn new dances, and have a lot of fun. You can expect to see a variety of different dance styles, from beginner to advanced. There will also be live music, so you can enjoy dancing to the sounds of swing, jazz, and blues. We will have community activities during the day that allow you to meet new friends and learn more about our community history and culture.
