Registration

ILHC World Finals are postponed and registration is closed – Stay tuned for updates!

As we continue to keep an eye on travel concerns, ILHC invites you to celebrate World Lindy Hop Day with us on May 25–26, featuring both a sponsored in-person gathering and a virtual celebration that includes the ILHC World Qualifiers. Then, join us again in August for a separate online event showcasing our Virtual ILHC competition divisions (details on timing and access will be shared soon).

Can’t come in person but still want to watch? Get EXCLUSIVE online access to ILHC content, including classes, music performances, and contests.

• Early access to competition recordings, including divisions that will never be posted elsewhere online
• Exclusive views of full classes (not just recaps!) and live music performances

All videos will be posted within hours of them happening. Exclusive access is active for a limited time, after which the classes and live music will no longer be available. At that time, most contest videos will begin being shared on YouTube.

Full Weekend Pass holders receive a large discount—the entire Virtual Viewing Pass is only $20! Go to Watch ILHC to sign up.

Videos will premiere during a special event in August. Read more about the contests and rules.
