"A vibrant, enthusiastic, growing, learning swing and lindy hop community in the capital district!" That was the vision of AlbanyHop founder and Lindy Hop teacher Angelica Hesse.

At AlbanyHop, we've tried to stay true to that vision, and also increase interest a little beyond the Capital District. Most dancers feel that driving 1-1.5 hours for a dance is not too much, so we try to keep you informed on slightly out-of-area events.

Albany Hop is a non-biased, non-profit information source for dancers, music lovers, and those who may simply be curious about Swing dancing or music.

If you would like an event listed, please e-mail albanyhop-owner@yahoogroups.com within one FULL WEEK of the event date. Please include pertinent details such as date, time, location, cost, and website/phone number if applicable.
