Why you'll LOVE Swing Dynamite
Trust us, we know: love is a strong word. But at Swing Dynamite we're about more than just moderate, conservative amounts of fun. We're about excitement! We like to have so much fun, you keep wondering if you're supposed to be feeling guilty about it. (Good news: the guilt is entirely optional. But the fun is absolutely required.)
Why is Swing Dancing SO MUCH FUN?
- The CORE of swing dancing is FUN. Every dance style reflects an attitude. You have the street attitude of hip hop, the sensuality of Baladi, the elegance of Waltz. Swing dancing is an explosion of fun channeled into dance steps.
- It's all about great PEOPLE. We don't know exactly why swing dancing seems to attract some of the friendliest, coolest people on the planet, but we don't worry about the reasons too much. We're just happy to be part of a global community of swing dancers who love to have fun together.
- Swing music! Swing music is music that makes you want to move. And we'll show you how!
- It's more fun together! It's just not as much fun dancing alone as with a partner! And with the friendly people who swing dance, you'll always have someone to dance with.
- Do it YOUR way! Swing dancing lets you express yourself, and find your own style.
- You're never too old to be young at heart! Swing dancing is a very youthful dance style, but it's not about age. It's about attitude. Whether you're actually too young to rent a car, or simply never want to lose the exhuberance of youth, swing dancing makes everyone feel young.
Who wouldn't like swing dancing?
We're willing to admit that swing dancing isn't for everyone. Here are some signs that swing dancing isn't for you:
- If you don't enjoy laughing. Laughing is a crucial part of learning to swing dance!
- If you'd rather be doing your taxes than listening to music. (In fairness, we know some accountants who love swing dancing!)
- If you're a mean person. Mean people often get really confused by all the friendliness and fun everyone else is having.
- If you don't like trying new things. You can keep swing dancing until you're into your nineties, and still learn new things!
