Not long ago, someone preposterously complained that my iPhone’s playlist only had old jazz songs. The observation was surprising because a discerning person should know that a playlist of old jazz songs is, truly, a playlist of good music.
Worse, imagine hearing that one can’t dance to swing.
One might as well be told that polar bears can’t manage snow. They can – and, actually, they love it.
Almost as much, I’d guess, as these dancers love swing.
Enjoy.
Belief in the Lindy Hop can improve mental health. Swing dancing, or watching folks swing dance (like the video) without a smile spreading across your face is like an uninsured family of 5 (not qualified for welfare) turning down Obamacare. It’s next to impossible or there’s quite likely something wrong with you.
Well, you’re very right about the optimism of the Lindy Hop. It’s almost as joyous as a family (of five, perhaps?) realizing that the automatic budget cuts of sequestration have helped America. In fact, they might exclaim, with surprise and satisfaction, that those budget cuts have assured a better economic future for all, as the deficit is falling fast.
