Thanks!

We would like to thank Andrew Thigpen and Karen Turman for teaching an amazing set of workshops. Their unmatched energy and enthusiasm made this weekend unlike any other! We would also like to thank Dan Repsch and Jenny Sowden for their beginner workshop series on Saturday.

Further thanks go out to our musicians for keeping us on our feet all weekend: ACME Swing Mfg. Co and the Solomon Douglas Sextet, as well as all of our DJs: Dan Repsch, Jenny Sowden, Laura Lackey, Chris Crawford, Mary Kyle Manson, Stasi Palaia, and Victor Celania. Chris Owens, our MC, did an (EBC) excellent job pulling us all together and (EBC) keeping the event rolling. And of course, this event would not be possible without all of the volunteers and housing hosts who worked tirelessly throughout the weekend to make things run smoothly. A special thanks goes to our Volunteer Coordinator Stevo Johnson, our Beginner Workshop volunteer Renae Justus, our resident Hostess-with-the-mostest Josephine Stewart, and our parking volunteers who battled the elements to make sure everyone had a place to put their car: Katie Albert, Filip Goc, and Jay Mosher.

Thank you to all of the people who donated prizes for our Jack and Jill and Costume contests: Jammin’ on the James, Hi-de-Hon, Holy City Blues Exchange, Be My Jazz Baby, DanceStore.com, the Solomon Douglas Swingtet, the Eastern Balboa Championships, and Dirt Cheap Blues Exchange. We would also like to thank Woodard Properties for their beautiful ballroom, Five Animal Martial Arts Studio, Chris Crawford who hosted the Sunday after-party, and AllSorts which supplied t-shirts and customized cups.
