	SWINGIN' TERN HAS MOVED After 23 years of dancing in Chatham, Swingin' Tern has migrated six miles north to East Hanover. Our new nest has a wonderful and larger wooden dance floor which is flanked on each side by large windows allowing great ventilation. Come HOME to our new nest! The change took place with the June dances. Click for maps and directions to our new location.
