• Age limits
  • The Lower Limit: We don't have any strict requirements regarding age, however if parents wish for their children to take classes, they should take into account their abilities and maturity.
  • The Upper Limit: There isn't one!  You're never to old to learn how to dance.  Whip is a slow to moderate paced dance. You can take it easy or you can "whip-it-up"!  There are all ages that Whip dance.   Lindy Hop is another story however: It is exciting and fast paced.  Get ready to get your aerobic exercise for the week!  Recommended only for those in good physical shape.

Founded in September, 1983 and chartered- incorporated in January, 1985, the Bay Area Whip Dance Club (BAWDC) is a social club with an objective to promote and preserve the Whip style dance.We are a non-profit organization with no paid officers or instructors.  Member's dues and support of club functions/activities are our only means of revenue. BAWDC business meetings are held on the second Monday of each month. Officer nominations are held at these meetings each January; elections are held at the February business meeting each year.   We encourage members to get involved in club operations and invite them to attend these meetings whenever possible.
