theyellowhobbitSwing dancing was amazing. I had a really good time, and after a while I didn't really need to warn people about being a beginner, because I was able to follow for the most part (except for a few confusing counterintuitive signals that I eventually got after a few tries). So I came home really happy. And I enjoyed dancing with lots of different people.
Also, I learned that swing is way easier than salsa or rumba or whatever else I was doing with JB. Or maybe it's easier to dance swing to swing music, since the dance is meant for that music. Also, there's less crazy footwork. So JB needs to learn swing dance, so he can do swing to swing. When he gets back next semester, maybe he'll come along with me again, and maybe by then I'll be able to teach him.
Also, they are having a 4-week set of lessons for beginners. I'll be gone next week, but the week after I'll be around, and it will be before summer language starts, so I can actually get there for the lesson, and maybe dsKC will come with me.

In unrelated news, I have a bunch of crazy rounds stuck in my head from round singing last night. I'll post the lyrics of the two most amusing ones. The first is a parody, so I'll post the real lyrics and then the parody:
Real:
You kick, and then you glide. You kick, kick, and then you glide.
It's all in the rhythm (3x) of the heart.
Keep breathing; it's the most important part. (2x)
Parody:
Mutate, and then divide. Mutetate-tate, and then divide.
It's all in the gene pool(3x) from the start.
Keep breeding; it's the most important part. (2x)
(My response to this was, "but some people really shouldn't keep breeding!")
The other one is called "My Friend Sharon," and is apparently based on a true story.
My friend Sharon saved an armadillo from a crocodile one day.

Out in Amarillo where this vile child had an armadillo by the tail, and
he would have sent it sailing to some
Smiling crocodile, only Sharon hollered "Stop, you rotten kid!" and he
did.
