- Are you this bad-ass?
July 23rd!
What we have planned:
- Over 5 hours of instruction with International Instructors.
- An amazing band, The New King Rippers thanks to RDU Rent Party.
- Late night dancing in the heart of Durham, NC, and all the amenities that Durham has to offer (the foodiest small town in America).
Check out the other pages for information on registration, class descriptions, venues, the band, and other dances. The entire workshop is designed to bring your dancing to a new level and give you the tools you need to be more of a bad-ass. Register now, because space is limited.

Want to be bad-ass, but can’t afford it? We have opportunities for you to help and get into the workshop cheap, or free. Email info@hotclubofdurham.com for more information.
About the Instructors:
Abigail Browning
Beginning in 1998, Abigail Browning fell in love with the grace and athleticism of swing dancing, and has pursued the art and history of Lindy Hop, Balboa, Blues, Solo and Partnered Charleston, Peabody, and Collegiate Shag ever since.
As she teaches, Abigail fosters creativity and musicality for leads and follows through technique, and emphasizes body control through isolation, repetition, and balance while having fun and preserving the historical integrity of the dance.
In addition to teaching, Abigail opened Vintage Rhythm Dance Studio in Nashville, TN in 2006 where she organized events through 2008. As well as teaching and organizing, Abigail is a passionate DJ, having spun at weekly dances in Nashville, TN and Washington, DC and at national events.
Currently, Aba is based out of the Piedmont Triad area in North Carolina, as she attends UNC Greensboro for an MFA in Creative writing.
