Mark your calendar
now for the 19TH ANNUAL FALL CYCLONE - Nov 6-8,
2009!
As our guests say, "Nothing on Earth
compares to a Cyclone".
In 2008, the Carolina
Beach Music Awards recognized the Cyclone as being the best party of the year.
Check out the award, below.
Plans for the 2009
Fall Cyclone will be posted within the next few weeks. We are currently finalizing
contracts and motel agreements.
Check back here,
soon, as this is where plans will be announced, first. Then get your ticket
before we sell out!
Where did the party
get it's name? The
party was named after the time of the year, and to tie into the club name (Twisters)
so people would remember it. A "cyclone" is a twister with water.
In our case, we figured that twisters in the Lake Norman area must be a Cyclone!
How has it evolved?
The first year our
party was host to about 350 people. Over the past 18 years we have grown. At
one point we had over 1100 people. We decided to cut back our numbers to ensure
we didn't get too crowded. However, we now have a sellout every year. So, get
your tickets early. Our party (and our club) has an excellent reputation. In
fact, all four times our club has been eligible, the Association of Carolina
Shag Clubs (over 100 clubs) has selected us to host their annual Winter meeting
and party.
Who comes? We
have attendees from all over the East Coast. We draw from many different shag
clubs, and from the crowd of people who love the music and the dance, but are
not in clubs. We also have dignitaries, Ocean Drive lounge owners and staff,
dance professionals and instructors, and other well-known people at our event.
It's a reunion of good friends and fun.
