Sliders’ Summer Soiree: ‘One Enchanted Evening’ of dancing Many may ask, “What in the world is Slide Dancing?” It is simply line dancing to Rhythm & Blues music and is also known as soul line dancing. Some of the dances you may have heard of are “The Wobble,” “Zydeco Bounce,” and “Temptations Cha Cha.” Slide Dancing began in Philadelphia during the 1960’s and in recent years has rapidly spread across the nation. Beaufort’s Family Slide Dancers celebrated their Second Annual Summer Soiree on June 9 at the Officers’ Club at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. It was organized by instructor Lynn Bryant. Several groups from Columbia joined the Family Slide Dancers for a night of dancing to the tunes of DJ “Sweet Music Man.” Guest instructors included the founder of Soul Line Dance in South Carolina and Bryant’s mentor, Sandy Thompson, originally of Philadelphia. Before her retirement, Lynn Bryant founded Family Slide Dancers at St. Helena Elementary in August 2010. It has now increased to locations throughout Beaufort County

with dancers’ ages ranging from 20 to 80 years old. “I always dreamed of having a club where people of all ages and backgrounds would come together and dance, just like at a family reunion or wedding reception,” said Bryant. “So Family Slide Dancers is definitely a dream come true.” In July, additional classes are beginning for the community.
Class times are 6 p.m. From left, Gwen Jones, Roni Caw, Wednesdays at Penn Center on Bill Jones and Sally Markovich. St. Helena Island or Thursdays at the Technical College of the Lowcountry.
