Kiesel’s personal appreciation for dance comes from years of weddings with her family, learning the jitterbug, and eventually coming to Columbia and falling in love with the shag. After the street festival Saturday, there was a spotlight dance in the Marriott hotel that evening. The amateur shag contest winners attended, along with 2014 National and Grand National Junior Shag Champions Jeremy Webb and Kayla Henley. Kiesel described the collaboration as “the past, the present and the future of the shag.” “Our club is unique,” Kiesel said. “We are known for our friendliness. We welcome you. We are so happy you’re here.” More celebration of the South Carolina State Dance takes place throughout the year. The Capital City Shag Extravaganza is a three-day shag festival coming this April 1-3 at the Embassy Suites. 200 tickets had already been sold Sunday. It’s sure to be a collection of people from all walks of life who share a love for dancing.

Released seven years after the last installment of the fi lm franchise, “The Transporter Refueled” attempts to maintain the visual brilliance and plot depth that fans have grown to know and love. Set in the French Riviera, this mobster action fi lm showcases the transportation business, love life and the exhilarating fi ghting style of secret agent Frank Martin. Frank, once played by the infamous Jason Statham and now newcomer Ed Skrein, brings a fresh take and a beautiful face to the complex character. Audiences are reintroduced to Frank who decides to team up with his father Frank Sr., an undercover government spy. The introduction of a father fi gure into the picture adds another dimension to the franchise that fans have set to see. There is an unmistakable chemistry between Skrein and actor Ray Stevenson, who plays his comedic father, that makes for some pretty heartwarming scenes within the movie. Aside from the relationship built with his father, Frank also interacts with a sensual and mysterious female — a force seen in almost every classic action fi lm. Played by Loan Chabanol, the character of Anna hires Frank to help her crew of killer accomplices transport shipments from a bank. However, this turns out to be the least of Frank’s worries. The rest of the fi lm is fi lled with huge twists and surprising changes. This fun installment gives the fans more background information on the actual characters and sheds light on the turbulent relationship between Frank and his father. It also gives Frank’s Courtesy of Billboard SEEMOVIEPAGE5 Reckless, impulsive 22-year-old Miley Cyrus released “Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz,” her strangest album yet.

New Defensive Starters

South Carolina released its depth chart for Kentucky Monday evening. The Gamecocks will go with their same offensive lineup, but have two switch- ups on defense. Defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth will start in place of fellow sophomore Dante Sawyer. As defensive line coach Deke Adams likes to rotate his pass rushers, the change should be minimal. Sophomore Chris Lammons is penciled in as the starting right cornerback over redshirt junior Chaz Elder. Lammons was expected to start the opener, but instead backed up Elder against the Tar Heels.
