Saturday Night, don't miss Country Kickup! 

What started as a few swing dancing events focused on raising money for a missions trip to a girl’s rescue center in Kenya, Africa soon turned into two, and then CKU Director realized there was a huge opportunity to make a difference in the local community!

And so, CKU was born to pour into people, teaching them how to dance and establish confidence; as well as giving the proceeds to charity.
