Last weekend was as predicted - fun, challenging, inspirational and full of awesomeness! How could it not be with all the right ingredients?
Huge thanks to Skye & Naomi for the excellent classes, performing for us at the dance and for being just so incredibly wonderful all weekend.
Uptown Swing on Saturday night was just pure joy from start to finish. Gordon Webster & Band and Naomi on vocals were on fire! It is truly amazing how Gordon just reaches new heights each time. KI, our new venue, was the perfect setting for the packed house and brought many positive comments. Uptown Swing surely did go out on a high note for 2012!
That wouldn’t have quite been enough without all the wonderful dancers from both near and far. Thank you to everyone who participated. Thanks also to everyone who helped with hosting, transporting, running the door and spreading the word, especially Betty, Margaret and Meredith.
Very special thanks to everyone who pitched in at the workshops and the dance, and those who stuck around until after the music finally ended on Saturday to help us pack and clean up. Every little bit is what added up to such an exceptional weekend.
The vibe all weekend was so positive and full of joy! Looks like we will have to do it again next year.
