In the swing world there are levels--a hierarchy of sorts. In the first couple of months, I progressed rapidly through the ranks. It seemed I had a knack for this dance thing and each time I went back I had improved dramatically. Then, I hit the platau of death. I don't feel much improved since... Oh, August. It can be quite discouraging.
To make matter worse, I feel like I have been on the fringe of the inner circle for months. I've been dancing around the edges, peering in at the glamor and skill of the Anointed Ones, ocassionally glimpsing their world through a stolen dance, and unexpected hello.
Tonight, one of Them, a Swing Diva if you will, invited me to her birthday party. Oh, I am sooo in. I feel like the nerd who just got invited to the homecoming party by the head cheerleader. heh.
The coolest part is that we are going to "Lindy Bomb" Seattle. In other words, we are going to dance out in the rain, on the streets, in a busy area... to, of course, overwhelming applause. People of Seattle, prepare to be wowed!
*eee* I am absurdly excited!! I hope I am as "on" as I was tonight. Nothing could stop me! :) Nothing WILL stop me.
*maniacial laugh*
