C-T.com & Swing Dancing?
Our Latest Press Release: Yay for Swing Dancing!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Local designers bring Fashion to Portland’s Swing Dance Scene
June 7th, Christa Taylor, of Christa-Taylor.com, joins Larry Peacock of Stumptown Dance to launch First Ever “Swingin’ Catwalk” at the Scottish Rite.
Vintage Fashion has been popular on Portland streets for decades, and who knows it better than the Swing dance crowd? In 2 weeks, 8 of Portland’s dancers will interrupt the dance night, strutting the Red carpet in vintage inspired Fashion designed here in Portland. Once the dancer hits the end of the runway, she’ll join her dance partner to show off their footwork.
“It brings two of Portland’s best flavors together” says Taylor, “People are getting so excited, we’re considering making this a monthly event” she concludes.
30% of any sales from the Christa-Taylor collection go to support orphans and widows in Cambodia.

Scottish Rite is located at: 1515 SW Morrison St, Portland, OR
TICKETS: (available at the door) free to the Press, $8 for students, $12 for adults

Sounds pretty snazzy! Hope it goes well for you, and everyone has a swingin’ (pardon the pun) time.
*sigh* oh so far from me. Oh well.
Also: Swing dance = awesome!
Just wondering: Is it possible to swing dance without showing your underwear? Or without being “exposed” to others who do? The swing dancing I know of is rather immodest both in clothing (vintage and otherwise) and in maneuvers. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up on YouTube and see for yourself.
This just doesn’t jive with all your talk about modesty on this blog.
I’m not trying to be mean. I’m just honestly trying to understand.
Hi Marcia!
The swing circle we’ll be affiliated hasn’t had any problems in that department. I’m sure some dancers out there are more risque, but we havn’t had any problems. The models will all be wearing C-T dresses, so that’s another safety bar.
I can imagine that it would be very hard to swing dance in a dress and not expose yourself in immodest ways if you are performing aerials and such. But if your swing dancing moves are more conservative, say limited to spins and dips, then I don’t think there will be any problems.
Wow. That sounds like so much fun… If I were in the mood for a serious roadtrip, I would totally be there. Have fun.
Wish I could be there. Have fun!
When I was in seminary a group of us would go swing dancing once a week, it was so much fun. And thankfully, none of us were talented enough to know any immodest moves!
I think this is so cool! An if there is any fear of exposing yourself you can were leggings or shorts underneath. An you wont unless you do aerials.
As for the show, Oregon is so so far from Tennessee. I wish I could make it! It is an activity that me an husband do at least weekly!
Great idea~!
That sounds like so much fun! I can’t stand that I live so far away and won’t be able to attend! Please post some pictures after the event!
