Swing Patrol

I went to a swing dancing class on Friday night with some friends from skating. It's held at 'Sidewalk Tango' in Richmond, and includes a one hour class and then social dancing for a couple of hours for just $12.

For one thing it was heaps of fun to learn the rock 'n' roll moves and dance with the huge group of people that were there. Some cute girls too! And the teachers were young and witty. But the real bonus was the social dancing afterwards, where I got to watch people who really knew how to do this style of dancing! They were going nuts! The energy level is so high, and there's kicks and jumps and slides all over the place. It's almost like watching Grease or something - the dancers are that good! I had an absolute blast! I'll definitely be going back next time (it's on every 2nd Friday). Catherine will love it! She couldn't make it this time because she was moving house, but I just know she'll flip over it. Lately our normal ballroom dancing class has been becoming a bit stale and slow, and we have been trying to mix it up and add a bit of energy, so this is exactly the shot in the arm that we need!
