Dancing is my new boyfriend

LINDY HOP. One of the best things that’s happened to me! It’s fun, I get to meet, talk, hang out with people, I adore the music, I get some form of exercise, no formalities, no grading, no uniforms, no pressure on selling your soul and committing yourself to it, something to look forward to at least 3 nights a week, and when I don’t feel like dancing I can just sit there, enjoy the music, and look at other people!

I’ve been wanting to take up Lindy Hop for ages – inspired by old Merrie Melodies and Disney Cartoons and old movies with people dancing in it. When I was 4 or 5 years old I told myself, “I wanna do that kind of dancing!”. But of course, I didn’t know what it’s called. Fast forward 15 years and I realised I could learn Lindy Hop in Singapore but I get distracted by many other things and just gotten around to do it. Glad I signed up for the class! I had zero dancing experience (other than flailing my arms around in clubs), and I still suck big time (only been doing it for less than a month), I know I look like a retard on the dancefloor, but I just LOVE moving to the music!

Don’t know how Lindy Hop looks like? Take a look here (no I’m not that good. YET. Mhahahahahh!)
