Bham Hop

Bham Hop

B’ham Hop is a swing dance community in Bellingham, Washington. At B’ham Hop, we believe that community is built by learning, playing, and celebrating together. We actively create a learning environment where collaboration and respect are central to the process. Every Tuesday night we host a swing dance, with a class for all skill levels at 6:30pm followed by a dance. We invite live bands to play at dances, and do community outreach through performance and practice groups.

TangoLife

TangoLife

For all TangoLife classes except semi-private, you may drop-in (according to your level), but an RSVP by email is greatly appreciated, especially if you are not already a regular.

Private tango lessons are still a steal at $40/hr or $50 for 1.5 hour for one or two people (lead or follow). Typically we accomplish a month of development in one session.
