X I do so much of it, and it's become such a big part of my life, that this site would feel incomplete without a page about swing dancing. Here's a bit more information about the specific types of swing dance that I do, in addition to links to events I've attended, message boards I read, and friends of mine from the dance communities of which I've been fortunate enough to be a part.

Swing dance styles
Lindy Hop - "the grandfather of swing dance", started in Harlem in the 1920's.
Balboa - a close partner dance created in the packed ballrooms of southern California in the 1920s and 1930s. Often danced to faster music.
Blues - "the dance that lurks in dark corners and knocks out other dances as they walk by, then goes through their pockets for loose moves" - Noëlle Gray
