This past week at Tapestry (a dance studio in Minneapolis) I participated in the weekly "Birthday Dance". This is a dance for those who, as the name implies, had a birthday that week. All the "birthday people" go to the middle of the dance floor and others from the crowd take turns cutting in and out during the song. It's quite fun actually and you get to dance with people who are usually pretty good. Well I got to dance with Peter Strom. I know you don't know who he is, but let's just say he's really good. Like world class, won national Lindy competitions, etc. Below is a link to a video of him on youtube.com. Anyway, he's here in the Twin Cities for a while and is teaching a beginners level class downtown on Wednesdays during February. I've signed up to go. It's going to be fantastic and it's super cheap. Classes start on Tuesday!!

Due to lack of time I have officially given up swing dancing and will not be attending any of these classes or Tapestry or swing club this semester.
