Swingin' Hyderabad

Sadly, a good friend of mine is leaving Hyderabad this week. But her last weekend here ended in a bang -- or I should say, in a swing!

Tracy conducted an incredible swing dance workshop last night at Beyond Coffee in Jubilee Hills. With the class focused on the lindy hop, I now have "rock step triple-step, rock step triple-step" ingrained in my head. It was quite a crowd for the Hyderabad scene -- most folks were local and many seemed to be hard-core dancers, as evidenced by bringing their own dancing shoes.

We learned the basics of connection and footwork, focusing on an eight-step swing-out. Not quite up to the flips, but something to aspire to here!
