Charleston Challenge

The Blue Mountains Charleston Challenge first claimed the title in 2012. The local event broke its own record in 2013 with 276 dancers and again in 2014. 
Then in 2015, the town of Bexhill in England snatched the title with 503 dancers, followed by Swing Patrol dance troupe in London with 975 dancers later that year.  
1000 participants were needed to win back the title but weather kept the numbers down.  Peter and I have vowed to help boost the numbers next year.
People get into the spirit of the day by dressing in period costume.
