John & Barbara Grammer (aka Heavy & Snowflake) hail from Houston, Texas now living in Albuquerque. This married couple of 38 years claims to be having the most fun in their quest to find the ultimate blues bar.
Having learned the “whip” when they were teenagers, they began competing at a local level in 1993, winning 1st place in State, Regional and National competitions & won the U.S. Open Swing Dance Championships in the Masters Division in 1999 and 2000. They were inducted into the Dallas Dance Hall of Fame in 2010.
They have continued to compete, teach, and judge but really consider themselves social dancers with a party animal edge. These two soul mates hope you will have a great time at the event and that you will seek them out for a dance. Be Blessed! “Too Much Fun” Dance.
Bob & Beverly have hosted 28 events in their career, including the prestigious “Michigan Dance Classic.”
They are two time recipients of the “Feather Award” for dancing, the equivalent of an “Oscar” for acting. They are past 1st Place winners of the “American Swing Dance Championships” and have placed in the top five of the U.S. Open Swing Dance Championships three times. Recently they were winners at the “World Swing, Salsa, and Hustle Championships” winning 1st Place in all three divisions.
Many of you may have seen them on TNN TV doing guest performances on “Club Dance” but if not, they will perform for you on Saturday evening.
They support dancing in many different ways. For example they are sponsors of the “Masters Tour” and provide $300.00 at 12 designated events and $7600.00 split among the top 4 couples in the point standings at the U. S. Open.
They are delighted to be able to teach for “Mid-Ohio Boogie Bash” and they thank the Mid-Ohio Boogie Club for the opportunity to be an important part of our most fun event.
