If you’ve been in DC for long enough, you’ve probably heard of hand dancing — it’s a locally developed style of dance, similar to swing dancing (not just waving your hands around, as might be assumed from the name.)

Former Mayor Vince Gray was a big fan, and it still is popular around the area. And now you can learn! There are classes every Wednesday for beginners, starting this coming Wednesday, June 7 at 3815 Georgia Ave NW. The details are above, sounds like fun!

Here’s a sample from the National Hand Dance Association:
