Talk of the Town Sweetheart Dance Brings Out Texas Swing Enthusiasts

More than 60 dancers came out for the Civic Club’s Sweetheart Dance Feb. 12 at the Wimberley Community Center. Al Dressen’s Super Swing Revue played three hours of Texas swing classics and ended the night on a high note playing Dale Evans’ Happy Trails to You and the Bonanza theme song as guests cheered them on.

“This band is so tight and professional that they make performing this music sound easy. They’ve achieved a perfection that no one in their genre can match,” said Manuel Montana, who attended the event with his wife Susan. “As soon as they started to play, a thrill went through the crowd and people grabbed their partner and headed to the dance floor.” Other guests remarked “this is a perfect antidote to the isolation of our life.” “I got a little choked up seeing everyone out there dancing.” “I can’t remember the last time my husband and I danced to music like this.”

One of the Civic Club’s Spring Events, the Sweetheart Dance was organized by Robin Estepp and Becky Williams with the help of other Civic Club volunteers. More Spring Events can be found at wimberleyccc.org.
