My first swing class

Instead of signing up to the gym this year, why not try exercising with some vintage dance moves?
The caption that caught my attention, whilst browsing the Poskod site.

Dance? Me? Why not? I have a love-hate relationship with dance. I love to dance, but it hates me with my two-left feet.

The KL Swing team is conducting free weekly taster class (that means trial class) at Sid's Pub, Bangsar South. I decided to invite my friend, LM to come along. Both of us went for the class with no inkling at all what swing dance is all about, lol. We just thought it could be fun, so no harm in giving it a try. Besides, Sid's is one of our fave hangout joints.

That was two weeks ago. We went to our first class last Tuesday. We arrived early (8pm+) as some of them were having their class. The taster class starts at about 9.45pm. We were nervous...but the instructors (Aizat and Sook Yan) that day were friendly and helpful.

We learned the basics of the East Coast swing... nice! So far so good, we decided to go back again soon for more! 


Can you spot me?
