SWING SWAP RETURNS!!
CSDS is so excited to announce that Swing Swap, C'ville's longest running West Coast Swing dance practice, returns this month after a 3-year hiatus! Starting April 13th, each Thursday from 7:00 - 8:30 pm, we'll be at the Municipal Arts Center ("the MAC") located at 1119 5th St. SW (near Wegman's), dancing in the main hall with wood floor. The MAC is conveniently located with free parking. Admission is a suggested donation of $3-$5 to help us pay the rental fee. Read all about Swing Swap here and plan to join us on Thursdays going forward, starting April 13th. Swing Swap is beginner friendly/becoming better oriented! Any questions, let us know!
OUR NEXT DANCE
Our next dance is Saturday, April 15th and we are back at the Ivy Creek United Methodist Church. This month we're partnering with SwingCville to share our love of dance! Instructors Emma Bramer and Madeline Brence are teaching the pre-dance lesson, Lindy 101 (beginner level), and our dance, with DJ Jason Donahoo, will be a nice mix of Lindy and West Coast Swing music. We hope you'll take what you learn from Emma and Madeline and join them at their dance on April 19th!
In the event of inclement weather and there is a schedule change or cancellation, we will make a post on our public Facebook page (you don't have to have an account) by 2 pm ET the day of the dance.
