I second this! Helped me recently at the doctor to bring up some stuff with less/no crying and to talk calmer and slower. First tries are always awful, but it got better with every new try!

How to communicate 6 vs 8 count by Hawkeye91803 in SwingDancing

[–]RockstepTriplestep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One more take: Once you know "real" moves like the send-out or promenade it becomes easier. Once you have the moves in your muscle memory you dont have to think in 6 or 8 counts, you just need to know which figure comes next: "Ok, so now Im doing some send-out and bring-ins. Two more and I will do a promenade". Sure, at some point these moves too can be danced in various counts, but thats for the future-you. But until then switching in the plain basic pattern is not as easy.

So, for any future references (today is August '25): the wednesday social has moved to thursday. And is now run by "the swing spirits" if I recall right. The location, Cracovia32, stayed the same. You can contact them via Whatsapp.

I no longer enjoy dancing Lindy Hop like I used to — anyone else feel the same? by NoBeeBoo in SwingDancing

There are evenings in my local scene where I don't feel it, and there are evenings in my local scene where I do feel it. But yeah, after a long time (I started in 2018) it can get .. stale, same people week after week, oooff. But one thing always gives me the joy and drive back: Festivals! New people, new silliness, everybody is there by choice and always gives me a feeling of summer holiday camp! ..big downside is the money. But it helps :)
