Join us on Friday, January 2, 2026 as we head to Bay Street Biergarten for our first #networking #happyhour of the new year!
When you arrive, make sure to check in and grab a name tag while saying hello to our volunteers. Then grab a drink and find someone you haven’t met and strike up a conversation. You’ll be surprised how easy that can be at First Fridays. That’s why we’re all here! If this is your first time joining us, we look forward to meeting there.
Lastly, there are also two parking garages: one at the Gaillard Center and at the Aquarium. Google maps say it’s a 9 minute walk. Since it’s cold out, we bet you could cut that time in half!

The current version of Widespread Panic is fantastic, but the tone and energy of a Mikey / Todd show was different. We play set lists and play with an intention of sound and energy closer to the original band. We see the work as preservation and archiving in a real world sense, while we have a hell of a lot of event.

Kizomba: Fundamentals (Charleston Area)
2026-01-04 13:00 - 17:00 | 2007 Old Trolley Rd, Summerville, SC 29485-9075, United States
A core group of folks in the Charleston-Summerville area contacted Aroha Afro Latin Dance about teaching Kizomba. We are now, travelling from Florence two Sundays a monthto offer Kizomba focused classes. The classes are being taught at Magnolia Dance Academy in Summerville.
READ ON TO SEE:* What is Kizomba* Schedule and Pricing* Buy One, Gift One* Good to Know* Who is Adalia?* Plan Ahead, Schedule for 2026
WHAT IS KIZOMBAIt is a partner dance with origins in the African country Angola. It is rooted in another music and dance style called Semba. It is danced by families and friends at community gatherings. It is danced in a close embrace, like dancing while hugging someone. There are adaptations that have been made to Kizomba like Urban Kiz. Kizomba is the foundation. Urban Kiz the variation. We are teaching Kizomba.
Kizomba has become overly sexualized in some circles and that version is not what we are teaching. A good visual to help drive this idea home, if you see a dance someone calls “Kizomba” but you wouldn’t dance that way with your mom, father, daughter, son, grandmother, grandfather, aunt or uncle…it isn’t Kizomba.

WHO IS ADALIA self.
