Thanks to everyone that made the 21 year anniversary party a great success. Great music, great dancing, and great people always makes for a great time.

And congratulations to James Skowbo and Joe Irby for their awards which recognized their signifcant contributions over the years to HOTWDC!

This June, we are starting a new advanced class called Fundamentals of Rhythms & Breaks. This class will focus on listening and responding to the music.

Check out the photos from our last event: July's 5th Thursday.

We had a great turn-out for the workshop taught by Mike Topel (http://www.miketopel.com/). And the dance afterwards was wonderful and energetic with DJ Ken Ramsey spinning his dance mix of today's hottest hits along with the best selections of Blues, R&B, Country and Pop.

This September, we started a Swing Dance Team led by Joann Hutcheson.
