Every Swing Fling is a different experience! No matter how 'traumatising', it is nevertheless refreshing. And it never fails to inspire one to improve and dance better. although, I'm always "stressed, stressed *runs away*", there's always the appeal underneath it all. It's the very essence of social dancing, of Lindy Hop. The connection between two people, often strangers -we seem to always ask for each other's names only at the end of the dance- and then I try to follow. Quite failure at it, but still... It's about using the body to communicate. And groove/swing to the music.
And besides, today, there were nice and familiar songs like Begin the Beguine, De-lovely and Pink Martini. Je ne veux pas travailler...

Danced with people I never danced before. Stress, stress! I feel so extremely sorry when I don't follow. SO sorry! but they are very nice people.

...step, step, triple step, step, step, triple step.
