swing dancing
Way
back in 1997 a girl I was interested in said she'd like to learn how to
swing dance. I found out the information found a class and called her
to let her know. Needless to say she never returned my call!! But I went
to the class anyway and had a blast. Soon I was dancing virtually non-stop
from 1997 to 2001. I attended Swing Camps in Hollywood, Catalina Island
and throughout the country and danced in Australia, Japan, Germany and
Paris. My greatest love was Harry Dentons Starlight Room on Monday nights
where we would dance to the best bands in San Francisco including Swing
Session, Indigo Swing, Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums and Lavay Smith
and the Red Hot Skillet Lickers to mention a few. To avoid death by dancing
I took up photography to get a rest between the dancing. After September
11th 2001 the Starlight Room stopped swing nights to save money. That
left Jeremy Suttons "Move to the Groove" as a monthly highlight
... alas since that has been in hiatus I only appear to dance at special
events.
