Hello everyone,

We will not be having a dance at Spirit Moves this Friday, the 18th. We are taking the night off to attend The Charleston Lindy Exchange (Chex). They will be having dances all weekend long starting on Thursday night at the BDC and will have live band dances on both Friday and Saturday nights. I will be the opening DJ on Thursday and will be around all weekend dancing with as many people as I can. This is a great opportunity to dance with out of town dancers and dance to the music of some different bands and out of town DJ’s. Should be fun!
