Join us for this special evening of dance bringing together Local, Regional, and National Swing Dancers in honor of Craig Hutchinson's life.
A Swing Dance Hall of Fame member and founder of DC's Potomac Swing Dance Club as well as the Virginia State Open, Craig passed away in October 2007.
From his beginning as a ballroom dancer, Craig fell in love with all forms of swing dance, and we feel a great sense of gratitude to Craig for his many contributions to the local and national dance communities.
On March 14th, this evening to celebrate his life will include tributes to Craig, dance performances, a midnight Big Apple Jam, plenty of dancing to live music by the Mustangs, as well as DJ music, beginner swing lessons w/Dawn & Dean Garrish, and MC Grace Killelea.
The Washington Swing Dance Committee and Dance Promoters of the Washington DC Metro Area are your Hosts for the evening, in cooperation with the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture, the National Park Service, and Montgomery County Maryland.
We hope you'll join us in this celebration of our founder's amazing contributions to the dance world !!
