Here are some photos of my night out dancing!
I've never had dancing lessons before, I have always felt a tad nervous attempting to try and join in at other London 40/50s events i have been to. For fear of being ridiculed for not knowing what on earth i was doing. I do love to dance but i'm not very good at being confined to a particular routine. I've looked into Swing and Lindy-hop lessons in London. They are affordable but i don t have a job and i'm in my 3rd year of university, so I have very little time and absolutely no money. I went to see this jump jive band play at a venue im my home town of Southend in Essex, when i was home for the holidays and there were free jive lessons! I was thrilled to get to learn some basic moves, so I dragged my boy to the dance floor it took some persuading but as soon as he had a few drinks down him he was loving it!
i was also having a rather brilliant hair day...
Don't you love it? I had a good friend teach me a few years ago and now I can dance with anyone that asks, as long as it's Jive or East Coast Swing :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn how to jive properly! It's amazing to watch and so much fun. I hope you had a swell time & your hair does look fabulous! x
ReplyDeleteHow cool- you look like you are having so much fun- it’s on my wish list of things to do but I’m extremely shy, all arms and legs and with very little rhythm- which I grant you is not a successful combination when it comes to dancing!
ReplyDeleteOh, and indeed a good hair day! Tups x
Indeed you WERE having a fabulous hair day! Green with envy over here! Looks like you had a grand old time. I am the same when it comes to events, which is why i bit the money bullet and signed up for a beginners swing class. I LOVE it and cannot wait to go to the next local event to try out my moves! If you can gather the cash - or get someone to show you the basics - go for it! You won't regret it :)
ReplyDeleteyour hair looks wonderful:D I wish I had better luck with my hair lol
