Gallery: Swing Cats brings a taste of classic dancing during Fall Stomp

October 2, 2023 by Daniel Curd

Swing Cats took center stage with their annual event, Fall Stomp, on Friday. Held at the Elks Art Center, this event has become a tradition that brings the past into the present. Featuring the Abilene Christian and Hardin Simmons Jazz Bands, Fall Stomp offers both students and the Abilene community a chance to learn the basics of swing dancing while enjoying classic ’20s tunes.
