PALMETTO BUG STOMP 2009 Charleston SC...

The Palmetto Bug Stomp is back! After a year's break the Bug Stomp will return in a great new space, March 27, 28 and 29 . Mark your calendar now!

We'll be dancing all weekend to the tunes of the Avant Gardners and Charleston's own Anna's Banana's. Calling by Cis Hinkle. We'll wrap the weekend up with a beach party on Sullivan's Island. Our new hall, the Park Circle Community center in N. Charleston has a high ceiling and a sprung wood floor. It's convenient to I-26 and I-526. Easy access from downtown or the beaches.
