Charleston Lessons happen every Wednesday in March, 6-7pm, at the Gulfport Casino Swing Night. Take these Charleston lessons to advance your East-Coast Swing or Lindy Hop while doubling your repertoire of swing-dance steps and moves.

Mark your calendars — Thank-you to everyone who attended last night's fusion dance with the Betty Fox Band...once again a huge success! There's no fusion dance in April due to an Argentine Tango weekend at the Casino. Ballroom Fusion Night returns Sunday May 8th (and second Sunday of every month) to the Gulfport Casino!
