It seems like a good workout! I want to learn how to dance (I have no moves, seriously lol) and this looks so fun! They have social dances once a week back home and everyone is around my age. Have any of you tried it? How was it??
Here are my fav videos:

West Coast Swing- This is the kind they're teaching at the place I want to go to. It seems you can do this to most kinds of music!

I tried it at college once - it was one of those free events put on by the campus government - it was fun, it just seemed like it'd be a lot more fun if you had a partner to go with.

I had my prof. dancer roommate, so she kind of counted

West Coast is fun, but Lindy is on top of my to do list just because it's faster!

I used to swing dance with my husband back home. We did lindy for 2 years. Trust me, its a GREAT workout! I always sweat like crazy. In the beginning it will be slower because you'll be learning but once you get used to it then it goes as fast as you want.

I took ballroom dance in college and swing was one of the dances we learned. It was fantastic and I loved it. You should do it!

I'm going to give it a shot!! Classes start in september.
