Swing Dancing Coming To North Escambia Friday Night

August 23, 2012

Swing dancing is coming to North Escambia Friday night.

“Swing Molino Swing”, a family oriented event, will be held at the Barrineau Park Community Center on Barrienau Park School Road.

“This is an event for all ages and you can dress up or dress down as much as you want,” said Meridith Caum, one of the event organizers. She said spike heels are not allowed, and females that plan to wear a dress and practice the dip moves will need a pair of shorts underneath.

Lessons begin at 6:30 with the dance from 7-11 p.m. There will be a $5 charge to cover costs, and there will be a $5 meal available with a hot dog, chips, dessert and drink.

There will be no alcohol and no smoking allowed in the Barrineau Park Community Center, and there will be a deputy on site for security and peace of mind.

    Good looking group. Ms. Merri, were you afraid the “gangster” would drop you if you staged the dip? Good Luck!

    We do plan on trying to move the swing dance to Saturday nights if this one is a hit! This Friday was the best available date they had for us to work with at the time and when we found out football games were starting we were already committed! :) We would love to have you when we continue on Saturdays!!!

    My teens like to attend the one downtown once a month or so and love dressing the part. I just wish they weren’t starting this venture the first week of high school football. We are afraid it will be over before they even get a chance to support it. Why does everything have to be on Friday? Y’all go and support it so we can join you in December.
