- **Event Name**: Whip-ma-Whop-ma-Hop 2026!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Welcome to our weekender where we go all out! Whip-ma is a three-day celebration of swing dance where we host lessons, social dances and discussions. 

With three streams and three socials, despite being named after York's (and the UK's, supposedly) shortest street, this weekend is certainly not as small as its namesake...

Now in our eleventh year, we start on Friday with a social dance and a fun blues taster to get everyone warmed up for the weekend.
Saturday is packed with lessons before the Big Saturday Social! Expect '20s glitz and glam, a live big band, and a DJ'd blues afterparty. 
Sunday is packed with tasters - including the option for Beginner Aerials taught by York's Richard and Kat - before a community discussion group and finally finishing the weekend with a Tea Dance!
Find a range of ticket choices on our DanceCloud, as well as streams for beginner and intermediate Lindy Hop, and Solo Jazz for more advanced dancers.

Please welcome:
Caterina Gentili (Solo Jazz Stream and Sunday Tasters)
Ionut and Liane (Lindy Hop Streams and Sunday Tasters)
John and Molly (Lindy Hop Streams and Friday Blues Taster)
Richard and Kat (Sunday Aerials Taster)
and the Blind Tiger Dance Band!
