Clinton-Macomb Library Invites Young Adults to Check Out Swing Dance

A new program for young adults promises to break the silence of the Clinton-Macomb Public Library this month with the wailing horns and irresistible rhythms of swing dance.

One of the library’s newest programs for those in the 18- to 29-age range, Swing Dancing will be offered on the first Tuesday of every month, starting Jan. 8, at the main library.

“We have a great, dedicated group of teens who attend programs, but we felt like we were missing some programming opportunities with young adults ages 18-29,” said Jamie Morris, community relations specialist for the Clinton-Macomb Public Library.

Although the library has played host to swing classes in the past, Morris said the January class, taught by local volunteers, would be the first geared specifically toward young adults.

The class is free and open to all experience levels, from those who’ve never tried a swing step to experts who could give Fred Astaire a run for his money.

Bring a partner, or fly solo, the library only asks that those planning to attend register in advance by calling 586-226-5030 or signing up on the CMPL website. 

The Jan. 8 class starts at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the main library, located on Romeo Plank at Canal.
