ROCKLAND — Swing and Sway Ballroom Dance Studio has stepped out to support an area nonprofit. Christian Clayton and Jessica Libby, instructors at the studio, organized their students to put their best foot forward to support the area's local animal shelters by paying for entry into an evening of ballroom dancing by a donation of food and toys for the dogs and cats awaiting adoption.

Clayton said in a news release, "Using the studio as a platform to assist local nonprofits has been a long-standing tradition for us and one we will continue."

Swing and Sway Studio located at 143 Maverick Street. Call for more information at 594-0940.
