The city of Santa Clarita has set its schedule of events for Thursdays@Newhall in Old Town Newhall for the month of October.
First Thursday — JAM Sessions
Thursday, October 4, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Start the month off by busting a move at JAM Sessions on October 4, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., with an evening of hip-hop dancing. The GR818ers, a group of world-renowned dancers that has turned hip-hop into more than a dance, use their moves to creatively connect communities and will teach attendees on various hip-hop steps. You will have the opportunity to try out your new moves while listening to beats spun by DJ Roxswift.
JAM Sessions are fun, interactive music and dance events hosted in conjunction with the Ford Theatre Foundation. All JAMs are FREE and all ages and skill levels are welcome. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and bring a chair if you just plan on listening to the music.
