ibhugh Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Anyone here do any swing dancing?I went on Saturday night, haven't done it in awhile. Had a complete blast. The place was a little crowded for really moving around, but I have heard there is a pretty good swing scene here...I kinda have an affinity for it, cause I used to play in some swing bands back in the day, yo... May try to get into a band again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divalicious Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Hee hee, Nicki and I were thinking of taking Swing Dance lessons, with me playing the part of the boy, since I'm bigger than she is. Wouldn't that be interesting? ------------------ Peace Love Happiness y'all DivaliciousNYC@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibhugh Posted November 20 Author Report Share Posted November 20 That would be pretty funny... There is always a need for more guys (guys are you listening??) in the swing dance community...I will probably be taking some more classes myself....One dance place I went to is called "You should be dancing". It's pretty good. There's another place that I forgot the name of right near the south entrance to central park... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibhugh Posted November 20 Author Report Share Posted November 20 The place that I went to Sat. was called Swing 46, on 46th St. bet. 5th and 6th. It's kinda small, but they did a little lesson and everything before the band started playing. There is another place called Supper Club, but I haven't been to that yet.

ibhugh Posted November 20 Author Report Share Posted November 20 Maybe we can get a crew of peeps to go sometime.... It's fun to just go to one of these places and have the lesson beforehand. Then there's no pressure for those who are just learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, there you have to bring someone. That the case here, or are they just sausage factories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharonregina Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 OMG! trippin trance were we not just talking about this yesterday? count me in! (definetly could use the lessons first.)there's also another place near Swing 46, i think it's on either 47th or 48th near times square, they have a $25 cover, which includes 2 drinks and it's kind of a dinner type place. i think. this is all something i tried to arrange last year so who knows!btw- have any of you ever seen the Harlem Blues and Jazz Band? they are ALL over the age of 70, and as individuals have played with every big band legend from Glenn Miller and artists like Louie and Billie. but fuck dat, THEY are amazing. saw them open up for the Squirrel nut zippers 2 years ago, i thought i died.
