Gallery: Swing Cats hosts Halloween dance

November 2, 2021 by Shelly Womack

Swing Cats hosted a Halloween-themed dance night full of games, a costume contest and swing dancing. They played steal dance, a tag game and other activities. This is the first year Swing Cats has had a dance on Halloween and its members are not sure whether this will become an annual event or not.
