Charlie Myers is a community-involved citizen of the dance world. Initially picking up social dance in 2010 in the Chapel Hill, NC area by attending several square/contra events at the Century Center, he later would go on to picking up salsa, swing, tango, blues, fusion, and west coast swing. In college, his exposure to the local community groups developed his passion for bringing people together through dance. From 2011 to 2020, Charlie would build two scenes in Asheville and Boone; organize contra dances with Old Farmer’s Ball and Boone Country Dancers; attend several conferences in Greenville, St. Louis, Boston, Washington D.C. and Nashville; and contribute to the discourse around the #MeToo movement as it impacted the dance world. His class offerings focus on getting people moving, encouraging personal growth, and developing communication strategies for healthy social events. At the LAC, Charlie will be teaching social dancing — specifically west coast swing — and hopes to contribute to a thriving, interconnected social dance scene in Eastern KS.
