What people are saying:
"It was one of the best swing dances I have
attended in well over a year (and I dance several times a week)."
"Nice people all w/good intentions. From the person
at door to anyone I would ask questions; all have positive,upbeat(no
pun intended) attitudes. And this love of Swing Dancing is
obvious by all assistance kindly offered and rendered. Five
Stars."
See you on the dance floor!
