West Sacramento dance studio to offer summer workshop

Midtown Stomp in West Sacramento will hold a two-day course in July for beginners and advanced dancers.

The Midsummer Mashup is a program where people can learn how to Lindy Hop through 17 classes over two days. The workshop is a collaborative effort between the Midtown Stomp studio and Kelli Wilkerson-Chastain, an instructor who is knowledgeable in dance styles like the Lindy Hop and Charleston. Students can also participate in a friendly Mix and Match Competition during the event. No partner is required to take part in the dance contest.

Midtown Stomp is a studio where people can learn how to swing dance from experienced instructors. The business offers private and group lessons. The venue also hosts a weekly dance each Friday where people can move to live bands or DJs. Many groups will perform at the studio over the summer, such as The Alpha Rhythm Kings, The Nick Rossi Swing Six, and The Harley White Jr. Orchestra. Tickets to the dances range from $10 to $15, depending on whether a live band or DJ performs.

The Midsummer Mashup will be held on Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29. Registration for the program starts at $120, though prices will increase closer to the event. Dance studios that arrange workshops similar to this may use poster printing to let their target demographics know about their future activities.
