Teens learn to swing dance at SL park

About a dozen teenagers took to the dance floor while another dozen watched from the wings during an evening of swing dance fun Friday night at Spring Lake's Mill Point Park. "It was warm, but I think the rain earlier cooled things off,' said dance instructor Ben Terpstra, a student at Hope College. "It was a beautiful night.' All high school students are invited to the two-hour event, called "The Dance Project,' which runs from 7-9 p.m. every Friday. Refreshments are served.

Previously, student-athletes paid $30 for each season they participated in a sport. Three-sport athletes would have paid $90 a year under the old system.
