It’s funny. 6 years ago you wouldn’t have caught me dead on a dance floor. Funny thing is, I still won’t get on a dance floor alone. But if I have a partner, I am up for any type of lead/follow dance. I have been dancing Lindy hop/swing for about 5 and a half years now. I love dancing, and wish sometimes that I had the time to set aside and take classes. I see people who started dancing way after me fly by in their skill level. Sure it bugs me a little, but I love dancing anyway. Lately, the Monday night dances (Hot Jam) have been packed. Last night they even had a fabulous live band - Hotlanta Dixieland Jazz, and I don’t know that there were many more people than normal, but I saw 80 on the check in sheet. Spectacular!
I am also really excited because in the past couple months, we have had 3-4 more experienced leads (read: guys) move to our scene. It seemed for a long time that we’d have guys leave, and girls join, making the ratio almost unbearable. But, it seems we’re on our way back up, and I am excited. It’s refreshing getting to dance with new people. And there are enough old people that I don’t get to dance with any one person that often, so it’s still really fun dancing with the ones that have been around a few years.
Ahh, I've caught the dancing bug again! yay!
