Dallas Brooks & Kay NewhouseReviews  Every year we receive lots of enthusiastic praise for our efforts. This is tremendous pleasure to read so keep it coming! We also welcome constructive criticisms and suggestions about how we can improve. Here are some things people have said about recent MADjam weekends.
 
Congratulations for hosting the best event ever. It is very hard to follow. You are setting the standard. - Sam Habet
 
I wanted to write to tell you how much fun I had at MAD Jam and compliment your staff.  The staff was respectful, friendly and attentive. I will remember how well I was treated.  Your staff provides excellent customer service. - Patty

Words can't accurately describe the wonderful "spirit" that encased your well-oiled and obviously successful event. We just wanted to give you and your staff kudos and we look forward to next year. Thanks so much! - Kathy

Congratulations on a truly great event. I have been traveling to national dance competitions for 4 years and this years Madjam is definitely one of my top 5 events. The strengths of the event are the social dancing (having 2 rooms) and offering an All-Star Division for the J & J competition (this gives the non-pro Advanced dancers a fair chance to compete). - Michael

Well, it took me a week to recover from the event. My students and I had a
great time! At 5am Sunday morning one of my students said "I have a Husband and two children at home, and I don't feel like leaving! Is this what they call 'addiction?". See you next year - Donna

Congratulations on a really well-run, very very fun event.  I've heard such raves about how smoothly everything went, even with such a huge number of participants.  And I think it had more energy than any event I've been to since NADC. Well done! - Kay

Gaye Proctor & Steve MitchellAs predicted, your event was one of the best events I have been to!  You worked super hard, and it paid off. Thanks and congrats to a successful event! - Jennifer

A well run event. Everything seemed to start on time and the staff seemed really helpful and on the ball. Bill at the front desk as well as Lee and the blonde lady at the contest floor really bent over backwards to take care of everybody. I thought service was better than any comp I have been to. Kudos to Lee and the others. I feel as though you have put together an excellent event. It's has to be one of the best run events  I have been to. I hope that next year can be made even better. If anyone can do it, You can. - Frank G.

I have not danced that much in one weekend in a LONG time.  I usually go to bed around 3am at events.  This time, 5am the first, 4am the second... the people and social dancing was great.  The contests were well run (ie on time, fair, etc, etc).  MADjam is on my repeat list for next year.

Enjoyed the weekend. I loved the way you arranged the ballroom. It was easy to see the stage from almost everywhere and it felt very 'small town' despite the large numbers. This is meant as a compliment. And everything flowed well, again despite the incredible number of J&J's you had to manage. Great job. We are looking forward to next year. - Madeline

What a great weekend! Dancing till 6:30AM in the morning, a great hotel, unbelievable competitions, and amazing dance routines. This is one of my favorite events! - Rob

Let me say how impressed I was with the entire event! This was my first time attending such an event (I am relatively new to the dance scene). I was so impressed with how organized and smoothly run it was. Kudos to your staff and all the people who made this event so successful! The volunteers and staff were all so friendly and professional. It was a wonderful experience for me! I was even inspired to enter the Novice Hustle J&J, and surprisingly made it to the finals! That was totally unexpected and a complete surprise! It made my weekend! - Mary

Amazing weekend, and thank you SO much for letting me participate!!!! - Johanna

That was kick ass event and I am definite participant next year - Kumar

Overall, one of the best run events I've been to, hat's off to Dave.  Worth the money for the weekend.  Danced with lots of new faces - Ken

MADjam was quite a success.  All of our students had great things to say and they all had a really good time. Thanks for all your hard work.  - Tara

MADjam was great!  Had a grand time. It's definitely an event I have in my return schedule for 2007 - Jerry

Dave Moldover continues to host the best events I’ve ever attended.  I missed the very first one, but #2 thru #4 have all been impressive. - David

I had a great time at MADjam.  I thought you ran a great event.  Kudos on the lighting, screen, and effects. - Brian

From 2005 and earlier MADjam events

We had a fantastic time at MAD JAM.  Everyone from our area had a GREAT TIME and will be back next year! We know what goes into putting together an event of this magnitude. You did everything to keep things together and "ON TIME" - your staff and volunteers you chose to work with were a great combination of people working towards one goal "A GREAT DANCE WEEKEND FOR ALL WH0 ATTENDED" 

What a refreshing change to visit a city with a growing west coast swing scene and attend and event that is bigger and more exciting every year. Don't stop whatever it is you're doing! - Ed

I wish the other events would follow your lead. You guys have a great thing going here. We can't wait till MAD JAM 2005. We'll buy the first tickets.  –Jeff
 

Thank you sooooo much for such a fun filled weekend at MAD JAM!! We had such a great time! We so enjoyed the workshops, especially the Hand Dance Basics with Kevin and Denise. You really went above and beyond with your efforts in making this a fabulous weekend. We can't wait until MAD JAM 2005!! - Janet  
 

MADjam has raised the bar for weekend events in the DC area. We're so grateful for your efforts and looking forward to attending the next one. - Steven
 

I have nothing but praise for you and all your efforts. I know you spent the last year planning and getting things organized for this event and it really showed. By using reliable and trustworthy friends to put things together, it became a team effort, rather than a battle of egos.  I have absolutely nothing to complain about... except for sore knees! –Bill
 

The event ran on time! A great achievement and a significant departure from other events in DC. The MAD Jam staff, professionals, judges, workshop monitors, etc. were all very professional. The registration staff made one feel welcome when you came in and glad that you could attend the event. Congrats on this success and I'll put next year's dates on the calendar - Tom


It was a GREAT weekend and you got rave reviews from everyone we talked to all weekend long.  We'll be there again next year! -
Larry
 

Thank you for a great weekend.  You did an amazing job.  The event was fun, punctual, professional and more. You really went out of your way to make sure everyone had a great time and it shows - Danny
 

It was the most fun I've ever had at a dance event.  It was so nice the way you organized all the comps on the hour with long periods of open dancing in between.  And everything ran right on schedule.  "Absolutely amazing job for your first all weekend long event".  Much more organized than those who've been doing them for years.  Many congratulations to you and all your helpers – Wendy
 

Excellent event!  I really had a lot of fun.  It was great to have so much open dance time available. – June
 

An outstandingly well organized and fun event.  The dance jam productions team worked really well. I didn't expect anything less from you than a first class production.  - Shawn

MAD JAM was the best competition I have attended. Very professionally run. – Joel

I had an awesome time! Thanks for keeping things on schedule, it was so refreshing. You run a tight ship! - Kelly
