It’s warming my heart and soul!
It’s so good to see these African girls, some of them barefoot, doing swing dance in a field and having fun!

Good job!

As Dawn said: "Gather 40 politicians from different classes and make them do the Shim Sham; we would be much better off."

I think, this is right for everybody - even more, THEY are much better off - and might go for the Charleston Stroll as well.

And I would be very happy to dance with all of them girls in a swing dance camp somewhere, sometime.

(did not find my missing step, though - a lot of improvising in the video … ;-) )

I love comments as long as they are not advertising on-line casinos or porn sites (or anything else for that matter).<br /> <a href="http://www.bitterjug.com/blog/archives/00000032.shtml">This is the entry you're talking about</a> I just re-read it and the comments and Im still giggling. Thanks for making me look back on that bit of my past. <br /> <br /> The dance lessons here at the college have fallen by the wayside. that organised situation that lead to the video has lost its novelty and last term when I brought the stereo out to the field there was only one lady dancing with me and the othes looking on shyly from the edges. I tried to encourage them to join but something was missing and I don't know what it was. I no longer claim to be able to communicate with them despite the good story of the above blog entry. NEvertheless I migth try again this term and see if any of the new intake want to learn some american jazz dance, choreographed by a Singaporean and taught by a Britt.<br /> <br /> When Unice came to visit she told me she has shown that video to Sing Lim. I never dreamed it would proove so popular. ;) Dirk,
