Join the Swing Dance Club tomorrow (Saturday) in the Foxhole from 6:30 to 9 p.m. for country swing night!
The theme is similar to the hoedown, so dress in your best flannel and jeans! Country swing is different from what we regularly teach, so you won’t want to miss the basic lesson.
The beginner lesson is at 6:30 p.m., where we will teach you everything you need to know. The intermediate lesson follows at 7 p.m., when Mark and Julia will be teaching “gangster lean” and “alternating turns.” The free dance starts at 7:30 p.m., when you can dance to your heart’s content!
All students and faculty are welcome. No prior experience is necessary.
If you have any questions, reach out to the club’s president, Julia Fisher, at jfisher21@georgefox.edu.
