Swing dancing
Mar. 18th, 2009 10:30 pmI'm learning a fair bit, but what I really need to do is actually dance it.
Anyone on my flist in Ottawa comfortable with dancing Swing from the follow position interested in coming over and doing an hour or two of Swing dancing some evening, or evenings?
I may also try and head out to one of the local Swing clubs, too. But, then I have to ask complete strangers to dance.

Look at the really good ones and think, hey with another two hundred hours of dancing under my belt, I could be that good.
There was a point that those guys were dancing the way you do now.
When you're leading, you get to call the shots! So if what you want to do is one step that you know really really well, then get out there and do it!
It takes a while to "get it" and while waiting for it to click, guys and girls should be very kind to each other and just go out and try.
