Swing Into Spring with CSU’s 8th Annual Dance Celebration

Ready to dance the night away for a good cause? Columbus State University’s Spring Swing 2025 is just around the corner, bringing music, movement, and meaning to the Chattahoochee Valley. Set for Saturday, April 26 at 6:30 PM, this high-energy event raises funds for CSU’s Dance Minor Program while delivering one unforgettable evening of entertainment.

Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just here for the vibes, Spring Swing promises an open dance floor, a delicious dinner, an open bar, and live music from Georgia’s party powerhouse, The Grapevine Band. It’s not just a night out—it’s a night that gives back.


Supporting the Arts, One Step at a Time

Spring Swing isn’t your average fundraiser. Now in its eighth year, it continues to grow as one of CSU’s signature events, highlighting the incredible talent within the College of the Arts while giving students access to performance opportunities, professional training, and community connections.

“The support from this event directly impacts what we’re able to offer our students,” says Jennifer Joyner, event coordinator. “Spring Swing helps us keep the program strong while honoring the power of dance to bring people together.”

And it’s not just the students who get the spotlight. This year’s event also includes:

  • Scholarship presentations to eight CSU Dance Minor students

  • A Lifetime Achievement Award honoring a local arts advocate who’s made a lasting impact in our region


The Cougar Dance Cup Heats Up

One of the most anticipated parts of the evening is the Cougar Dance Cup Champions Award, where four local amateur dance teams will compete for two honors:

  • Judges’ Choice Award – Best performance of the night

  • Community Award – Given to the team that raises the most for the program

Online voting is already open, so cast your vote, rally your crew, and come cheer them on live!
