I’m not much of a dancer to begin with, but I’m very fond of swing music, so why pass up the opportunity to go swing dancing with friends AND help out a charity?

The Knights and Setons of Gonzaga held their annual Charity Ball this past Friday, February 3rd, and it was held to benefit their sponsored charity, The Artisans. The Artisans is a non-profit organization with a mission to improve the employment and standing of their mentally and physically handicapped clients. If you’d like to read more and learn more about this charity, feel free to visit their website at this link.

This was the first formal dance I’ve attended since my senior prom in May 2011, so I was excited to dress up! And what better way to go about this than to get ready with your friends? The music was great-I applaud the jazz band at the dance. They even played “It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got that Swing,” a song I sang for choir years ago! Overall, it was a great opportunity to hang out with friends I haven’t seen much of since last semester. 🙂

And with that, I leave y’all with a modern jazzy tune. Until next time!
