Get on your party pants on and head to the community center on Gulf Road on Saturday, February 11, because the park and recreation district will be throwing a party! The St. Valentine’s Day dance starts at 7 p.m. Bring a dessert and then burn off the calories on the dance floor.

There will be performances by vocalists Savilla Kress and Shaune Ann Feuz with accompaniment by percussionist Jeff Butts. There will be a variety of love songs from the ’60s to the ’80s. Each song will offer an opportunity for locals to tear up the dance floor or to choose a partner for slow dancing.

Although Fuez has been singing professionally for decades, Kress is rather new to the music scene. After running karaoke at Breakwaters, she took an interest in singing, and traded some of her work as a seamstress for vocal lessons with Tracy Neff, director of the Delta Youth Theatre. Her confidence and voice are stronger than ever now, and she recently became a finalist on The Voice of the Ocean, a cruise ship singing competition where she sang “A Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”

In the 13 years Kress has lived here, she can’t remember there being any public dances at the community center. Kress stated, “I’m so excited that the parks department is having more events to get community involvement. I hope that they can continue to host theme dances in the future.”
