The sign at the parking lot in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park said "Free Swing Dancing". We had just toured the Conservatory of Flowers, and were desultorily looking for a cab back to the hotel.
The weather was perfect - warm, dry, sunny. The couple in the center was really really good.
The joy was infectious.
They do look like they're having fun!

There is nothing like being dipped by someone who knows how to dip AND cope with a leg wrapped around him.
Except for a man who drops you when he dips you, which is decidedly not spreading the joy, you dig...
Oddly, it really is the woman's responsibility not to be dropped. Same with being lifted...she has to hold herself exactly just so, and make the "exactly just so" work with the man's position, in a heartbeat. So I guess I got some muscle controlling to learn, eh? :-)
Interesting almost-typo: "in a heartbleat." I think I am fibre-deprived...
Thanks for the beauty of the dance. Just gorgeous.

I've always wanted to learn to swing dance really well. It just looks like so much fun.

Oh, I wish I could dance! Or more precisely, I wish I had the courage to dance!
