The dance community is saddened by the December 2022 passing of Jim Borzym. Jim was the founder of American Vernacular Dance; a dance instructor; and organizer and sponsor of the monthly Avalon Saturday swing dances, Wednesday waltz dances, Sunday tea dances, and more. The dances are continuing and Jim’s legacy is living on with the support from our wonderful dance community!
