HSDS Represents at Jubilee Jazz!

Congratulations to all the HSDS dancers who competed at Jubilee Jazz. I don't think Huntsville has ever competed so much in a swing event. Tabitha Bassett, Gabriel Bassett, Huy Huynh, Briana Austin McIntire, Paul Fryer, and Rob Murphy all competed. Huy placed in everything he entered (well, finals in invitational J&J), Tabitha took first in Open J&J with Paul taking third, and Huy and Briana took first in the blues comp. What an incredible showing and hopefully a preview of whats to come in HSDS competing!

A Swing DJ Discussion

I've copied the below post from this blog post from Atlanta. The only change I've made is to remove the HotJam specific paragraph. Many of the below points are mirrored in the other DJ pages.
