YOUR HOST
Event Director Joy Barnard, created Spooky Albany Swing Spectacular as a premier dance event with all the fun, excitement, talent and quality of a national event, on a regional scale.

SPOOKY ALBANY SWING MISSION AND VALUES STATEMENT
SASS is committed to creating a diverse environment where all people are treated equitably with dignity, courtesy and respect.
Each of us is unique and contributes to the community by the differences in who we are, what we’ve experienced, and how we think. For some, it means summoning the courage to stand up and speak out, sharing opinions or experiences. For others, it means listening with patience and empathy, creating an environment conducive to dialogue. For all of us, it means asking questions, respecting answers, being open to fresh perspectives, and most importantly, appreciating one another’s contributions to the community.
We believe our community is strongest when we embrace these principles as we work and dance together to make our vision a reality.
Thank you for helping us keep all our events safe.
Joy Barnard, Event Director
