After work today, I met up with my coworkers Megan and Carol (the same friends who I spent the 4th of July with) to attend "Midsummer Night Swing," an event that happens every summer at Lincoln Center, where they have swing dancing (and other styles of dancing, like salsa) on certain nights of the week. It's fun because they have a dance floor, a live band, and a dance class for the first half hour. The only drawback is that it's a little pricey--$20 for 3 hours, if you stay the whole time, which we didn't.
So we all went for the first time tonight. We took the dance class and learned the Lindy Hop, and then got to wait around awkwardly for people to ask us to dance. (I wanted Ari to come and be my dance partner, but he thought the price was too steep.) Thankfully, we all ended up dancing quite a bit by the end of the night, either with each other, or with random people who invited us to dance. It was a lot of fun! We plan to come back, and just hang out outside the dance floor -- thus essentially getting the same thing for free!
