We would like to give tribute to a special friend to the Swing community. A lifetime dance instructor and studio owner, this woman has been a pioneer in national publications for dance. A tireless promoter, her Dance Action and Jitterbug magazines, and her “Feather Awards” (a dance world equivalent of the Academy awards) have been instrumental in bringing dancers nationwide into a single community.
