During the summer of 2011, junior Kevin Dick taught some of his friends how to swing dance. Among those friends was junior Kathleen Newcomer, and she has enjoyed swing dancing ever since then.

When asked how he learned to swing dance, Dick said his sister taught him and she learned when she was in college.

“It’s a fun way to have fun and have a good time with friends,” he said.

Newcomer decided to start a club at school focused on swing dancing, so that more of her friends and other students can also learn this unique style of dance.

“If you go anywhere [to swing dance] it’s mainly old people, so that’s why I wanted to start the club,” she said.

When asked to describe swing dancing, Newcomer said, “20’s [dancing] would probably be the best description.”

They will hold their first meeting on Monday, Jan.30 at 3:15 p.m. in Rm 183 after school.

“I’ll teach how to lead, how to follow, all the basic moves, and I’ll hope people can figure it out,” Dick said.
