By Judd Workman

Today at 7 p.m. three of Utah State University’s dance clubs held its first combined dance social at Castle Manor in Hyde Park.

As the holiday season is approaching, USU’s Country Swing Club wanted to do something a little different for its Christmas social this year.

“This year we thought we would try to combine clubs for an event and see how it goes,” said Karlie Jordan, the president of Country Swing. “We have a really good turn out, i’m impressed and kind of relieved.”

Jordan is in her first year as the club president and said her goal coming into this position was to network with other clubs and help provide positive experiences.

Among Country Swing, the other clubs involved in the social were the Big Band Swing Club and the Ballroom Dance Club.

The public relations manager for Country Swing, Shalee Brice, said she really focused on utilizing social media to get people to come to the social

“We host a free Christmas social each year,” Brice said. “But this is the first time we have combined with other clubs so we were hoping for a big turnout.”
