News and Announcements

Hand Dancing is a form of swing dancing in the family of Chicago Stepping, Detroit Ballroom, Phili Bop, and West Coast Swing. It has roots in the Lindy-Hop and Jitterbug of 1920s Harlem. In 1993 the Smithsonian recognized Hand Dancing as an American art form, and in 1999 D.C.’s City Council made it the official dance of the District of Columbia. Today Hand  Dancing is a
family-friendly social activity that preserves the rich tradition of teamwork and connection that kept communities together.
