South Carolina Dances with Isabel Whaley Sloan

Isabel Whaley Sloan started teaching ballroom dancing and social etiquette in Columbia when she was 17 years old in 1914. For three-quarters of a century, generations of children, including Gov. Henry McMaster, flocked to her classes. Sloan was also well-known for organizing dances and social events for thousands of servicemen who were stationed at Fort Jackson during World War II.(Presentation lasts 35 to 45 minutes and includes a PowerPoint; a screen or blank wall will be needed.)
