Dancing the Blues

I've always loved social dancing, and have danced swing and salsa on and off for all of my high school and adult life.  Since I moved to New Haven, however, I haven't found much of a dancing community.

Until recently.

Last weekend, I took a swing and blues dancing 'bootcamp' at Yale, to get back into it.  It was for beginners, but since I only really know how to follow swing dancing, I was curious to learn how to lead (so that I can help teach if the need ever arises), and I was curious as to what blues dancing is.

I fell in love with it.

Here's more or less what it looks like:

I'm hoping that in 2012, dancing will be making a big comeback in my life. :)
