🎉 Last Connection Dance Night of the Year! 🎉

This is it — our final class + social dance of 2025 is THIS WEDNESDAY, Nov. 19th! 🕺💃

We’ll be closed for Thanksgiving week and the entire month of December, so don’t miss your last chance this year to learn, dance, and connect with our amazing community in Orange!

✨ Beginner Lesson: 7:15–8:00 PM
✨ Intermediate+ Lesson: 8:10–9:00 PM
✨ Social Dance: 9:00 PM-…

Afraid you’ll miss us too much? 😉 Save the date for One Night Swing on Saturday, Dec. 6th! Your Connection Dance instructors—Kristen Shaw Chris Wasko & Renee Wasko—will be there, and we hope to tear up the dance floor with you too!

And of course, we will see you all on the dance floor when we ring in the new year together at Countdown Swing Boston 🪩🥂🎊!!! Get hyped (and also get your pass today!) for the best NYE experience, right in your backyard!

*REMINDER: NO CLASS THIS WEDNESDAY, July 2nd!!!*

Congratulations to everyone who attended, competed, and/or just showed up as themselves at Liberty Swing Championships last weekend!! It fills us with joy to see our Wednesday squad learning, grooving, cheering, taking creative risks, and thriving in the broader west coast swing community 🥰.

With the holiday this week, WE ARE CLOSED THIS WEDNESDAY. We hope you enjoy the time off to relax, swim, grill, register for Summer Hummer:, and/or treat yourself however you most enjoy! 🎆

See you at our next dance on Wednesday, July 9th!
