Lindy Hop learning opportunities -- camps, workshops, competitions, performances...
Though the URL remains the same, this page has been dramatically expanded as of January 18, 2005. It now is set to include not only camps and workshops, but also major yearly competition- and performance-oriented events. For information on primarily social dance events such as exchanges, see the social-events page instead.

Wheee... transitioning over to a table format to get more structured info. I've started the ball rolling... can y'all help out a bit... er, bit-by-bit? Thanks! :) -- Adam
