Beata Howe Workshop

at the

Kansas City Swing Dance Club

14-16 August 1998

Beata Howe (top left corner, center and across the bottom) is one of the top swing dancers in the country as well as among the finest instructors in the country. Not just my opinion either. (Pronounce Beata like "oughta be" and reverse the "be" and the "oughta.") She is funny, articulate and very straightforward. You will hear her trademark "Ye-e-e-a-a-a-A-A-HHH!" from way across any room. I would describe it if I could. You just have to be there. Smile.
