A Village...
Our very own Carolina community is rich with amazing talented dancers who come together to make our events memorable!
Carolina Summer Swing proudly features local “Carolina-based” and “Regional” Team members, and a select group of fan-favorite guest staff members from across the US!
Our Deejays play the very best competition, bumper and social dancing music — all weekend long.
And the Emcees entertain and keep attendees informed throughout the entire event!
