Welcome back all!
We hope you’ve had an amazing summer and got to boogie down in the sunshine! Sweet September kicks us off with our weekly lessons for both beginner and advanced dancers alike. Tessa Antolini will join 802 Westie Collective at the end of the month for her fabulous monthly workshop! Our full fall schedule is accessible via our Facebook Page. We are so excited for this Fall schedule and can’t wait to share a dance with you.
Please also note an amazing New Years Eve event on the horizon! We’re organizing a table and rooms this year for an entire weekend of workshops, social dancing and even competition if that’s your thing! We would love the whole 802 community to show up in force this year, so let us know if you’re interested in joining!
There are so many ways you can get involved with 802 Westie Collective beyond dancing and classes too! We are a non-profit organization and are seeking volunteers of all kinds this fall. If you have time or knowledge to share, please see our “Volunteer” section below.
Looking forward to seeing you all in September!

Dancing in Vermont
Dancing in the Wilds and Live Music events are often posted to on our Community FaceBook Group for informal, impromptu Social Dancing opportunities. These are community fueled events and we encourage folks to let other community members know where they can find awesome music to dance to around the 802.
