Swing Cats host eigth Fall Stomp event

November 4, 2018 by Logan Chapman

The Swing Cats hosted their eighth annual Fall Stomp on Nov. 2.

The event consisted of a variety of swing dances, accompanied by live music from the Jazz band. The Fall Stomp was open to students and faculty and included a free dance lesson beforehand.

“Swing Cats has been an integral part of my time here at ACU since freshman year,” said Raiden Sawyer, senior English major from Oklahoma City and president of Swing Cats.

Sawyer said the Fall Stomp is a great opportunity for the community to come together.

“We had a really good turn out of about 100 people and we had a lot of people who were engaging with the music and having a good time” Said Sawyer. “We really love dancing to live music and this is a great time for us to collaborate with the ACU Jazz band.”

Swing Cats is open to all students, despite dance experience. Beginners lessons take place in the SRWC and cost $1 per person.

“You can be an absolute beginner and learn something the very first time you come,” said Bennett. “People are welcome to come at any point in the semester and start learning.”

Several ACU students were removed from the seating behind the Utah Valley bench late in the fourth quarter while arguing with UVU fans. After a conversation with ACUPD and other staff members, they were relocated to the stands near the UVU bench on the south baseline.
