A whole weekend full of great food, good tunes, and fun for all hits NOLA on April 9- are you ready? It’s not too late to plan your weekend- or extended stay if the circumstances are right. With the jazz music starting in the morning and going strong into the night, a pair of comfortable shoes may be your best friend over the three-day fest. If you’re ready to get “foot loose,” check out the featured event!

Fleur de Lindy and French Quarter Festival present social dancing  at the FQF: Whether you’re a swing dance specialist , or an amateur two-stepper, these half-hour all-level dance classes will have you moving!  On Friday April 9, The French Market Traditional Jazz Stage will feature classes in the following styles: Second Line, Charleston, Swing, Fox-trot, Traditional Jazz and Lindy Hop. And with teachers reigning from the NOLA Jitterbugs, Dancing Man 504, Dance Quarter, as well as other guests, you will be dancing like the pros in no time. But don’t tire yourself out on Friday, because the classes will continue through Saturday and Sunday! On April 10 and 11, the Children’s Headquarters on the riverfront plaza at Audubon Aquarium is hosting classes for even the tiniest dancers. The best part? All classes are free and open to the public. See the itinerary for details.

Offering the best of what the Big Easy has to offer, the French Quarter Fest is the perfect whirlwind taste of New Orleans culture. A popular weekend for the locals, it’s a great way to not only “visit New Orleans, but live it!”
