CHARLESTON IN MAY — Charleston is the 6pm Bonus Lesson topic every Wednesday in May at the Gulfport Casino Swing Night, and we've added three all-new classes to the mix this year! Half of swing dancing is Charleston-based, so get good at Charleston, and you'll get A LOT better at swing, whether you dance East-Coast Swing or Lindy Hop. In these classes, we'll cover partnering, leading & following, and dozens of Charleston moves that you should immediately incorporate into your swing dancing. We'll get you feeling and dancing those Charlestons!
