I saw the following post on rec.arts.dance and thought I'd pass it along.
I've met Lisa and Brian at numerous Swing & C/W events. They are a young
couple; wonderful dancers who compete nationally and have recently started
teaching to support their dance addiction :-)
It sounds like they've rented Burnett's Ballroom for this event.
I went to a dance there last year; it's about 2/3 the size of the Regent.
If you're in the mood for a little road trip, expect a younger crowd
and some fine dancers at this dance party, with music suitable for
East and West Coast Swing, Hustle, Cha cha, Waltz & Country 2-step.
