Dancing on the Waterfront

Dancing on the Waterfront is a free weekly outdoor dance class that will transport you into a world of rhythm and movement, with the Potomac as your backdrop! This unique event takes place in Georgetown Waterfront Park, where participants of all ages and skill levels gather to embrace the joy of dancing in the open air. Every week, a DJ will spin a mix of music, blending various genres and beats. From the infectious rhythms of salsa to the melodies of bachata and the tunes of kizomba, you’ll get to hear an array of music styles.

The Georgetown BID is partnering with Dancing on the Waterfront to offer a special weeknight series on Tuesday evenings from through June 11 – August 6. Dance instruction is from 6 pm – 7 pm, but drop in any time from 5 pm – 9 pm for social dancing! If you can’t make one of the Tuesday events, check out Dancing on the Waterfront’s regularly scheduled classes, every Saturday night through October.
