Weekly CLASSES

B’ham Hop is a Swing dance community in Bellingham, Washington. At Bham Hop, we believe that community is built by learning, playing, and celebrating together.

We actively create a learning environment where collaboration and respect are central to the process.

We host swing dance classes for all skill levels every Monday night at 5pm and 6pm, invite live bands to perform at dances, and perform in the community.

The Rhythm Belles are Bellingham, Washington's very own chorus girl troupe, comprised of female dancers dedicated to bringing back the magic and entertainment of the golden era of chorus-girl dancing from the 1920s-1950s. You can find out more about The Rhythm Belles and their upcoming performances and classes at their facebook page www.facebook.com/therhythmbelles and website www.rhythmbelles.weebly.com .

Monthly African / Diaspora Dance Class

Music and dance are two of the greatest connectors around the world, and we're excited to host a monthly African/Diaspora dance class with different guest teachers at Presence Studio! Through African and Diaspora dance, we will learn about the history and current realities of the peoples and cultures that created these art forms and connect with each other through a shared musical experience. With great respect, we acknowledge that these classes take place on the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish Tribes. We want these classes to be welcoming places for all races, ethnicities, gender expressions/identities, ages, and abilities, and we are always open to any feedback and suggestions to improve access. Thank you for the support, we can't wait to dance with you! 

Classes will take place on one Saturday per month, from 11-12:30. No prior dance experience needed, open to all ages, and live drumming! $15 per class, kids 12 and under dance for free. See you on the dance floor!
