It Takes
A Village...

Our very own Carolina community is rich with amazing talented dancers who come together to make all of our our events so 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!

We are actively working to finalize and confirm our CSS’25 Staff. Check back for updates!
