In 1998, dancers from Chicago made the trek to the San Francisco Bay Area, sparking a global movement in "traveling for the dance" with the first recorded lindy hop exchange. We are excited to announce a revival and reimagination of this movement right here in the Bay, celebrating the unique signatures of our Northern California dance communities!

Join us on Saturday, October 10th, 2026 for a night of live music, a showcase of creativity, musicality, and personality through friendly inter-scene competition, and more!
