The Gangbusters Routine is back, giving Lindy Hoppers a chance to train, rehearse, and perform one of the most recognizable swing dance routines around during SwingdepenDANCE Weekend, July 4th. Over eight weeks at Guild of the Vale, dancers will learn the choreography, practice with a team, and build toward an optional performance on Saturday night of the event. The series is designed for dancers with at least some Lindy Hop experience and includes group instruction, practice time, and coaching from professional swing dancers. No partner is required, making it a fun way to improve timing, performance skills, teamwork, and confidence on the dance floor.

About Guild of the Vale

Step into the Guild of the Vale and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back in time – this historic building looks like a castle on the outside, and has a 1,400 sq. ft. fast wood floor and a stage on the inside. The vintage feel is truly unforgettable! The venue is still in the same historic building it has always been in, but with a new name.
