Jason, Amy & April Barnes ROCK C'ville!

Jason Amy April Barnes 

Wow, did we have a great time or what?  Pros Jason and Amy Barnes and their adorable daughter, April, entertained the Charlottesville area dancers last month during another fun-filled well-attended Workshop Weekend.

 

A big thank you to the following people: 

 

~ CSDS Board of Directors and Workshop Coordinator Adela Su for making it all happen.

~ Jason and Amy for coming back!

~ Jeff and Sara Haas for so graciously hosting our guests in their lovely home and providing studio space for privates.

~ Kathy Stacy for manning the door during workshops.

~ Tom Smith and Andrew Spilman for camera assistance.

~ All the folks who helped to entertain and babysit little April.

~ All the folks who contributed a dish at our dinner.

~ All the Dynomite dancers who took the time to learn the line dance so we could surprise Jason and Amy.  Thank you to Erica Shergold who held classes for us and to Ginny Larson for letting us practice at her house.

~  DJ Aidan Keith-Hynes for his last deejaying gig with us before he heads off to college - we'll miss you!

~ All of you who attended the workshops, dinner and dance.

 

We look forward to having Jason, Amy and April return again soon!  In the meantime, if you're ever in the Asheville, NC area, make sure to look them up here.  And in early August, they'll be returning to Virginia for Swing Fling.

 

Note:  we continuously strive to improve our dance functions and count on you, not only for your participation, but also for your feedback!  If you'd like to make a suggestion, please let one of the CSDS Board Members or Helpers know, or send us an email.  Thanks!
