Monday Lessons: East Coast Swing
Starting September 9, 2024 we will be teaching East Coast Swing; a fun, triple-step swing dance that is perfect for dancing to mid-tempo music, and is easy to learn. Most of the songs played at the Saturday Night dances and by Tribute bands are mid-tempo, so come to our classes and have some fun while you learn some killer moves! Our lessons are geared to take you from beginner to advanced level dancing. Note: Space is limited.
- 1:00 PM - Beginner lessons
- 2:00 PM - Intermediate lessons (requires knowledge of the basics)

Previous Sock Hop (it was a great dance party!)
When: Sept 27, 2024 7:00 pm
Where: The Lake House (Antler, Bowers and Catawba rooms)
Join us at the Sock Hop Dance party for a rockin' good time "at the beach" as we dance freestyle, swing, nightclub 2-step, line dance, cha-cha (or whatever you do) to good ol' Rock and Roll music. It's not just a dance; it's an experience! We'll have a photo booth and lots of props so come prepared to party and have a blast with a few crazy friends.
DJ Joe King will be spinning all the hits so if you can't find your friends, it's because they're all at our beach party, and you're not!
NOTE: If you want to quietly sit and ponder the meaning of life, this event is NOT for you.
The joint will be jumpin' so be there or be square!
