Winter Dreams Ball Staff
We are fortunate to have coaxed Tom Amesse to be our Dance Master. Tom is well known and well respected
on the East Coast and we are delighted to introduce him to the West Coast.
“Tom is really an ideal choice... He has a great voice and microphone manner; people really enjoy
listening to him.”
—Gene Murrow
Jacqueline Schwab, Shira Kammen, and Bonnie Insull provided fantastic music for the first Winter
Dreams English Country Ball (February 2014) and are back. Why mess with success?

Comments from the first Winter Dreams
“I had a blast! The ball was great, the music was great,
the selection of dances was great, the food was great,
the hall was awesome. And next year I’ll allow
more time to tour Santa Barbara.”
“Kudos to the committee for such an excellent job.”
“This was a splendid evening in every way. We certainly
hope this will become an annual tradition.”
“Jacqueline Schwab was a major factor to attend this
out-of-town ball. But I had so much fun that
I’ll be back even if you don’t pull in world-class musicians and/or caller.
It was a great ball!”
“It was truly a ‘Winter Dream’ of a dance.”
