It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing

We had quite the weekend! After an interesting experience in a local town, an evening of grilled chicken and McLintock, and a morning at church, Old Ironsides and I embarked on a new journey together: swing dance lessons. About a week ago I found a Tucson dance company that was offering beginners Lindy Hop dance lessons. Old Ironsides agreed to it, and we signed ourselves up! The first night was jam packed with instruction, and we learned all of the beginning steps in just one hour. Needless to say, it was a little overwhelming! We plan to practice, practice, practice so we're ready for next week.

For those who are interested: The Lindy Hop is based on the Charleston and made it's debut in Harlem, NY  in the 1930s. It is considered more of a street dance than a ballroom dance, and is a fun and effective workout!
