We finally got to join one of Richard Powers' Couple Dancing classes and after only two weeks, we were excited to not only be doing basic swing-outs but actually combining that with a few moves. It was awesometastic. There was definitely a "Dude! We're swingin'!" moment near the end of the class.
Three more weeks of classes to go. Sadly, next week's class conflicts with Obama's inauguration but I think swing is going to win.
