Memorial, Tribute, and Remembrance Dance

John Duffy
1931-1989

Robert Kinkaid
1938 – 2010

Raul Ante

Frank Mannion

This special Second Sunday dance is held annually in June to pay tribute and remember dance icons John Duffy, Robert Kinkaid, Raul Ante, Frank Manion, and all who have passed that have contributed to West Coast Swing  dancing in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

Event began in 1989 … John Duffy Memorial
This event begain in 1989 with the passing of John Duffy, the co-founder  of our 2nd Sunday Swing Dance. John & Michelle began the 2nd Sunday Swing  Dance in February 1989 and unfortunately John passed away in April that year. John Duffy was a wonderful West Coast Swing and Ballroom dancer with a passion to spread his love of dancing to everyone.

Event Expanded in 2003 … John Duffy Memorial & Remembrance Dance
In 2003, in its 15th year, this memorial event was expanded to be not only a memorial  to John Duffy but to include Frank Manion, another WCS icon, and also remember other local  San Francisco Bay Area dancers who had passed that had made a significant contribution to  the dance. (see photo boards on display at this special dance)

Event Name Revised in 2011 … John Duffy Memorial & Robert Kinkaid Tribute & Remembrance
In 2010, my wonderful husband and dance partner, Robert Kinkaid, passed away. The name of  the event was expanded in 2011 to the John Duffy Memorial & Robert Kinkaid Tribute & Remembrance  to also pay tribute to Robert, a wonderful man, co-founder of our Mountain Magic Dance Convention and  Sea Magic Dance Cruises as well as a great supporter of the swing dance community. The event is now known as the Memorial, Tribute & Remembrance Dance to recognize  and pay tribute to all who have passed that have contributed to West Coast Swing dancing  in the San Francisco Bay Area.

-An email from one of the 2009 attendees-
Hi Michelle,
I just wanted to let you know how much fun last night was. The best part was
when you let the new dancers dance with the veteran dancers. Oh my God,
I got to dance with dancers that I never would have believed I could dance
with in a million years!!!!!!!!! I even danced with the one that won the Jack
and Jill contest!!!!!!! Can you believe it?????

Wow, I’m still on a high. People always say to me, “you are really lucky
that you get to dance”!!! Yes, we are lucky but not every night is a good
dance night. But I will tell you, when it’s good, it’s really good so you just
dance until the next one comes. Last night was one of the really, really
good ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, for that. … Julie D.

You just never know how much the simple kindness of a dance can touch someone!

A Bit of 2nd Sunday Dance History

Redwood City: On May 9, 2014 … After 25 years at the Imperial Dance Club in Redwood City, we said goodbye to this location (822 Cassia St.). The space was leased to a company that, sadly, will not be using it as a dance studio. Our new dance location as of July 2014 is the Peninsula Social Club in San Mateo at 100 North B Street.

We retired our “Video Share & Exchange” Program (launched 2/7/10). The videos were for everyone to take, exchange or contribute videos for the dance community to share as a whole. There was no fee … just the intention to share the love of dance and to have the opportunity to view dancing at various past events. Thank you to all that contributed videos for this “Share/Exchange” option. Now there is YouTube!
