That’s very impressive! We had a swing dance club in my high school and they always looked like they were having a good time. I think the closest thing I’ve done to dancing is marching in formation in the Army, which does take rhythm and coordination. But there’s a certain “fluidness” to some people that my body just doesn’t have.

I was terrible at swing! I can’t lead in dancing. I can run a bunch of troopies to set up some comms in the bush and no one will ever hear me as us kids were raised “dad works night shifts so be quiet” kind of quiet. But if a game plan while dancing is a learned skill, I never hit proficiency at it and I think it’s just not for me.

Well done, you. You learned a skill I can only envy, and in under a year!
