Hello everyone, Thanks to Bob Isaacs, I'm calling my first full evening this weekend at Swingin' Tern in New Jersey. It's my home dance so I have a good idea of the dancers' ability, but it will be hot and humid. I plan on running dances shorter with longer water breaks. Here's the preliminary program, with alternate dances I'm comfortable with listed at the bottom. Please give me feedback!
