Got a concern on your mind, lay it on us. We want your experience to be fun and worry free. Homework Check out Mike and Laura dancing at Stompology. My favorite part is a move that starts around 2:10. The move only lasts a few seconds but it certainly got my attention and made me chuckle. The band that they are dancing to is The Careless Lovers. Check them out in my song of the week link.  Travel Opportunities: If you're looking to meet more dancers and skyrocket your skills, there's no better way than to hop in the car and find a weekend workshop.     Lindy on the Rocks in Denver Co, July 30th-Aug 2nd.

Got a concern on your mind, lay it on us. We want your experience to be fun and worry free. Homework Here is another example of Swing Dancing done fantastically well in other parts of the world. Check out Hugo and Melanie in Amsterdam during Smokey Feet just last month. I love their personal style and how they expertly craft their movements to express the music.  Travel Opportunities: If you're looking to meet more dancers and skyrocket your skills, there's no better way than to hop in the car and find a weekend workshop.     100 years of Jazz in Kansas City, June 18th-21st I hear this event is now FREE!!!!  Lindy on the Rocks in Denver Co, July 30th-Aug 2nd.

Vintage Clips:  Not going to lie, I may have posted this before. Even if you have seen it, you should watch it again. Cab Calloway starts this off and then the amazing Nicholas Brothers come in. I swear that these guys must have rubber legs. On a deeper note, if you also watched the video above, you can see that personal style comes from solo dancing. The Nicholas Brothers inspire me. Perhaps I will track down a tap class soon.    Have you wanted to get more involved in our swing dance community? If so, let Megan Pfeiffer know!
