Every time I hear drums beat and saxes blow and trumpets wail of classy jazzzzz – I cannot help but to tie up my worn Oxfords and pin up my hair circa 1940’s style for my heart sings ‘in the mood’ to SWING.
East Coast Swing has finally come to PSU. Swing Out is one of the newest additions to Portland State Rec clubs. [We meet every Thursday in the Rec Center room 440, 8:30 – 10PM].
I SWING dance to live in the moment and throw my cares to the wind – I will always have time to write that 10 page essay on British Romanticism later………
We SWING to lose ourselves in rhythm. We SWING to smile. We SWING together.
We also frequent swing socials on Sundays and Wednesdays that offer a complimentary beginner’s lesson and more than 2 hours of hopping dance.
What do you get ‘in the mood’ for?
Great to read that you love it!
While not a swing dancer, I still get in a good mood when listening to swing music. Both to the classic Benny Goodman swing as well as the new electro swing.
