been swing dancing it for over 8 years now…love it
How to swing dance
How I did it: I started by taking classes in college. The school offered swing lessons (many colleges do!) and it connected me to the swing dancing world. Within about a year and a half, I was teaching swing classes in philadelphia.
Lessons & tips: Don't break your frame! Keep your connection! And dance with as many people as you can!

at least for now. I’m making plans to start salsa lessons once again. I might revisit swing one day…

I sort of swing danced at prom, but I imagine it’s not the same. I’m not good at it because I have NO IDEA what I’m doing.
I think it would be cool to get to the point where I can flip around and be thrown around without being terrifed.
Yeah…
though not swing dance, i did get to go contra dancing a few weeks ago . that was fun and i’ll be going again with these girls when i get back to school on the fall.
My friend Michael showed me the basic steps tonight. We had fun. I’m sure I’ll take lessons in the future. :)
I feel like a klutz, but I think I’ll continue this. I’ve gone once, and can’t really do even half the steps.
I found this event – it’s basically a swing ball with three great bands on Dec 30th. Go to this link and click on events:

It just looks very cool. I’m getting a group together to go.
