CFC Sisters to perform The Charleston at FACC 30th Gala



THE Couples for Christ Sisters (CFP sisters) will perform in the 30th Gala of the Filipino-American Community of the Carolinas Inc. (FACC) at the Renaissance Charlotte Sites Hotel on Saturday evening, Oct. 14 this year.

Joy Arrojado of the CFC group confirmed this to the FACC officers, saying the CFC sisters will perform the Charleston dance, a popular 1920s dance born during the era of jazz music, speakeasies and flappers.

The dance is named after the harbor city of Charleston, South Carolina and popularized in US mainstream entertainment by a 1923 tune called "The Charleston" by composer/pianist James P. Johnson.

Johnson originated the Broadway show "Runnin' Wild" and it became one of the most popular hits of the decade.

The CFC Sisters dancers are Mirasol Abogi, Mae Armsstead, Joy Arrojado, Ida Bauer, Luz Blackwell, Nenette Costes, Diding Cuering, Baby Erikson, Meng Lorenzo, Marie Miranda and Lorena Ostrea.

In support of the FACC and the ANCOP, the CFC Sisters are sure to entertain the FACC crowd with their rendition of the Charleston./Susan Palmes-Dennis
