I read this the morning after I found myself involved in an impromptu swing dancing lesson/experience in public in NYC with hundreds of other people at Lincoln Center. My sister's partner had brought me there and at first I planned not to dance, just to watch, but of course, then she would have no one to dance with, so I danced, badly at times, decently at others.
And, I also watched, people of all backgrounds, ages, and dance levels and experience partake in the joy of swing, dancing with friends, lovers, life partners, and strangers.

I saw the beauty and power of amateur experience!
The best!
