S&T

On April 2, Swingin' Tern hosted Tom Amesse calling to Larry Unger and Eva Burrough. On April 16, Sue Gola called to Wry Bred.

Our booker, Xander Kastan, is consistently getting performers that ST's dancers enjoy. That's due both to his own efforts and the influence of Doug Heacock and our booker emeritus, Suzanne Patnaude.

Financially, ST came out ahead $25 excluding any overhead assessment and lost a small amount after overhead.

On May 7 ST will host a double dance featuring The Brooklyn Swing Ensemble and Mary Wesley. ST will also host a double dance on June 18.

These double dances are part of our efforts to provide high-quality dances that experienced contra dancers can enjoy, while we continue our outreach to new contra dancers. Over 2016 as a whole, there are many special dances, and more are planned for 2017.
