What a Dance! We PACKED the monkey! We had people that had danced for years and people who were just starting! We had High School students and college students. We had young professionals and retirees. We had the Huntsville crowd as well as people from Nashville, Birmingham, Memphis, Knoxville, Atlanta, and Auburn! The only problem the whole night was finding space on the dance floor!
This December, Huntsville will be doing something special. We'll be holding a regional get together for all of the swing dancers in the Alabama-Tennesse region! Just like going home for Christmas, this is a chance to sit down for a relaxed evening of socializing with other members of the area's swing dance community. And who better to headline such an event than Christabel and the Jons! So come on out and enjoy your dance family!
