Casino Royale 2008
The Memphis Bop Club held their 10th Annual Casino Royale Dance on March 7 & 8, 2008, at the Grand Casino in Tunica, Mississippi.
It was an experience! We had 3 to 4 inches of snow on Friday and were not expecting many people to show up. But to my surprise, we had around 270 dancers there Friday night. It took some of the dancers 6 or more hours to get here, which normally would have taken them 3 hours. Some dancers came in Thursday because of the prediction of snow, and by Saturday the snow was all melted for an easy trip home Sunday.
The music was great! We had six DJ’s; providing our music: Tootie Brown from Carolina, Sue Kestner from Nashville, Scotty Mack from Arkansas and Tom Claypool (Dr. T), Tom & Edie Polzin, and Eddie Richardson from the Memphis Bop Club. We also had six great dance instructor: Gary & Charlotte Chaney from St. Louis, Jim and Virginia Stanton from Arkansas, and Jeannette Jeffries and Richard Britt from Memphis. Even with the snow, we still had a decent crowd and everyone had a great time. Hope to see you all next year.
