:thumbsup: :heart: swing!

I learned how to swing dance about 10 years ago, but I don't remember too much. But I know if I took a course or found a swing club, I would be able to pick it back up.

That's awesome. It's something I've been wanting to learn for years. I could definitely use the excersise too. Haha.

It had a popular streak about 10 years ago, and when I was up at college; they had a few swing dances. It was so much fun!

Benny



drinker Total brilliance, but it comes down to Gene Krupa. You have to move your feet when he's playing the beat. :banana:

LOVE Swing!!! Gave many of these a shout-out in the oldies-goldies threads. Artie Shaw and the Glenn Miller bands deserve their due here too!

For the Benny Goodman tune y'all have celebrated here, give a listen to Louis Prima's hep cat, gone daddie-o ( :tongue: ) version too!:wink:

Sing, sing, sing - Lous Prima:banana: :banana:

Ah, c'mon', everyone needs to shake it up w/ variety a bit. We weren't saying we'd tie you up and torture you w/ it for the rest of time. Even if you beg us too!:wink:

When you need to crank it up until you get a feeling, sometimes ONLY a lead axe - with dancing madmen and ladies will do! Fact!:banana: :banana:
