It's dance from a dying era, but swing is actually really fun. First we just learned the basic step, then got into twirls and then aerials. Aerials are just that: dance moves in the air. Not like flying, but where the guy lifts the girl and then sets her down.

At first, swing doesn't sound very fun. Especially not after grinding, hip-hop, and moshing. But it's really a great form of dance, and it's easy. The more you do it the more fun it gets, because you learn more moves and eventually develop your own technique. Tyler helped those of us who didn't know what to do at first, then while we were dancing scooted around the room on a rolling-cart thingy. BJ also helped out, teaching while Tyler was at the dentist.

The music wasn't what I'd usually listen to, but it was the dance that made it so enjoyable. The room was hot and everybody was sweaty afterwards, but it was well worth it. I think dance should be offered as a class next year at Satori, not just a rec time activity.
