Swing Kids
Sunday evening we took part in one of Sarah's favorite pastimes — swing dancing. Sarah is an instructor in Portland, and I love to watch her dance (you can see her in action on the You Tube video below). I had not been swing dancing in Colorado Springs for about three years, but to my delight several friends whom I hadn't seen in a while were there.
Josh was trying to overcome an inauspicious first experience with swing dancing (that involved his sister and an ill-fated flip), but he and I did alright after Sarah gave us a few pointers.
When Sarah had danced a couple, word got out about her skill and the partners poured in. One guy, a swing DJ from Denver, approached her and said: "I was told in no uncertain terms that I must dance with you."
The evening was a clear reminder that "we have different gifts," and yet even a couple of novices can cut a rug and have some fun.
