Have you ever wanted to take swing dance lessons or do you already know how and wish there was a local dance location? The Town Holden Beach is taking an interest list for bi-monthly Friday night swing dance sessions. There will be a beginner six count jitterbug dance lesson followed by a dance. No partner is necessary and all ages are invited. Anticipated times are as follows: Beginner lesson 7:00 -8:00 p.m. and swing dance 8:00 -10:00 p.m. Price will be $10 per night, per person.
Emily Alley will be your instructor. She’s been swing dancing for 10 years as a lead and follow. She loves teaching Jitterbug (also known as East Coast Swing), Lindy Hop, Carolina Shag and Collegiate Shag. Before moving to Holden Beach, she lived in Asheville and was the organizer/teacher/DJ of Swing Asheville and also started a swing dance community in Boone NC. She’s looking forward to sharing her love of swing dance to the area.
There have been several individuals who put their name on our interest list. Email Christy at [email protected] if you are interested, indicating whether you are signing up for the lessons or the dance only. Class information is below.
