This Year’s Inductees

The bio's were received and sent out to all eligible Hall of Fame members for voting and the results are in! At Rollin On The River in St. Louis, an ABA Convention site, on Friday, September 4, 2026 we will be inducting Marty Aerne & Sandy Ferguson into the ABA Hall of Fame for 2026. (See bio by clicking here)

The married couple, Marty & Sandy, have been involved at a very high level for years, were submitted by the Southside Imperial Swing Dance Club. This well-deserved recognition for them, caps their decades long dedication to the Swing Dance Community.

The other folks submitted are great ambassadors to dance, and well qualified to be inducted, however they didn't receive 50%+1 votes necessary to be considered. Congratulations to everyone submitted. Just being submitted is recognition of their dedication, and all true Hall of Famers in their own right.
