If you are interested in swing dancing I highly recommend getting out there to see what is available in your area. You only live once right? As for my readers that live near DFW I can suggest a couple events.
The Vintage Flying Museum in Fort Worth holds an annual hanger dance for an evening of fun benefiting the museum. It is like going back in time. Everyone dresses in 1940's attire, some wear world war II uniforms, there is a live orchestra, and of course DANCING. Whether you know how to dance or not it is a blast! Here are some photos from when we went 4 years ago.
Here I am doing my best to look 1940's
One of my friends who actually is a professional ballerina and a very good swing dancer.
Is that Frank Sinatra? Nah, it's J, but I must say he is looking quite dapper.
Here he is with his best friend.
Here is another friend of mine. Can you guess who she is dressed as? Hint: "WE CAND DO IT"
Remembering the past
Some of the veterans.

Wow - HOW FUN!! I wish we lived closer!
I went to an open swing dance lesson in college. They taught us how to tango. That was fun, but also a bit of a bummer since I wanted to swing! :)
Oh fun! I am afraid I would be horrible. But one thing I do enjoy is square dancing...hahaha! Have you ever tried that? I really like it because there is a caller who tells you exactly what to do and if you mess up, no biggie, because everyone else is learning right along with you :) Fun times!
that's so cool! i remember when Amy went to that. how fun! we also did some swing dancing when we were dating :)
I remember going swing dancing for your birthday about 7 or 8 years ago! That was so much fun! :)
That looks like a fun time!
Right after we got married, I got my husband to sign up for ballroom dancing classes with me, and it was sort of fun, but for some reason we got into the worst fights after each class. It just did not bring up good things. Isn't that weird? 'Cause we never fight usually. So that was the end of our dancing career.
