To celebrate the summer of 2022, we will be dancing the evening away at the SUMMER SWING!!! Next Step Clubhouse along with The Down Syndrome Association of Greater Charlotte and Best Buddies of North Carolina are tri-hosting this OUTDOOR dance. In addition to great music by DJ JOEY, there will be drinks, snacks, and desserts. The best part? This event is free to attend and you do not need a ticket to enter.

Here are the event details:

The dance itself will be in the rear parking lot (weather permitting or in the gym weather not permitting) of First United Methodist Church of Charlotte Friday, August 12, 2022 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. Parking is in the parking garage located at 163 W. 9th St. This is the address you will want to use in your GPS/Navigation system. Detailed directions are HERE. When you arrive inside the garage, look for volunteers to guide you the rest of the way. Once you exit the parking garage elevator, please stop by the registration table to let us know you've arrived.

Parents and faculty are invited to stay and hang out in our V.I.P. (Very Important Parent) lounge.
