A Picture is Worth ANOTHER Thousand Screen Names by Hell's Kitten

Ah, I didn't know there were other swing dancers. I'm looking for some dancing pictures. But it looks like most I've got are from the back. Odd.

Okay, found some:

Doing a little Bal (Balboa, that is):

Me and the flying hair:

Catchin' my breath (and before my hair was completely destroyed. Asking it to hold curl all day then through dancing is a big task):

And one last...more flying hair and a pic with showing our group sweater:

BTW: my name RugBug is swing themed named: Rugcutter and JitterBug

*thinks that JQ has some sort of mental block that makes him always type RMIG*

Heh, I went to my car for lunch, and Royal Crown Revue was in my CD player.

It was Caught in the Act, the live one from The Mint that somewhat started the whole swing resurgence of the mid-90s.

I am pretty sure I can 'handle' Roxy, no problems there

.

EDIT: RugBug, glad to know of more swing dancers.

I cannot see the photos, presumedly because of the anti-IMG tag at the end.

Fized those damn tags. Should be shiny now. And it's mostly just flying hair. One reason I usually dance with braids.

I love the flying hair, though I am sure it bothers you. I think it adds to the flair.

You look good in your dancing getup, if you don't mind me saying.

RugBug, glad to meet another swing dancer! Great pics!! I love your hair! I'm trying to find pics of me dancing, but all I've found is that one of me and my lil bro I posted a bit back. I'll keep looking though.

LA29, of course we will teach you some dancing! This is just gonna be SO much fun!!

RIMG, I was just listening to Big Bad VooDoo Daddy myself cause now I'm all in the swing music mood. Do you happen to know any lindy hop, btw?

JQ, lil worried 'bout you, but then I remembered that's just you.

Ah, RIMG, I so wish you were near me. I don't really have anyone to dance with these days.

The guy in the pictures is now living in Atlanta. He stills comes back occassionally, but it's just not the same. And I've been out of the swing scene here for so long that I don't really know anyone anymore.

(Those picts, BTW, were all takin' at work: At our fifties themed year end and at Halloween. My usual dance clothes are a bit more 40s inspired, but I went with my 50s dress and saddle shoes for this occassion. And my, I never realized just how see through that dress is. It's sheer except for an eyelet insert that runs around the bust and down the front but with a slip it seems innocuous. Eek)

Roxy: Do you do lindy? I started doing Savoy style Lindy and then switched a a Dean Collins/Hollywood style. Add some Bal, Shag, and Charleston and I'm a happy camper.

I wish we lived closer too, as it would be good to get to dance again. Ah, the mixed blessings of the internet.

You might be far more advanced at this than I, as I never really put names to any of it, just did it. I really need a refresher now.

apologies for interupting the flow of HK pic's (i know i know, i'll be going to the bad fire for this...) but does anyone else see a resemblance between some of RIMG's pics and ryan hurst?

pic for comparison:

as compared to RIMG:

*hope's he not on his own seeing the likeness*

Oh no. I've forgetten most of what I learned. I have only danced about 8 times in the last three or four years. Sad, that.

Add an injured right arm...you know, my arm I get lead by...and hard core dancing may be a thing of the past.

I am teaching some guy this week. Heh. He paid $75/lesson for five lessons and only knows some very basic stuff. I told him I'd teach him for half that (actually for free...but it was worth a shot.

). Now if I could just remember some moves. It's east coast and these days I just follow without thinking about what I'm doing.

I can see the resemblance Odds, though I have no idea who Ryan Hurst is.

Rugbug - I think most of what I do would be considered East Coast Swing.

Oh yeah, and I tend to lead with my right hand, either on your left shoulder blade or lower/middle back.

Holy resemblence, batman! I don't know who Ryan Hurst is, so I'll just say that other guy looks like RIMG.

Okay, I'm getting into the whole camera companion thing. Found some more pictures on my work computer:

This is me at work Christmas party last year:

Please note the big gray thing. That was the sling I wore for 4 months. There is also a white strap going across my chest for my brace and another strap around my waist. My shirt was split down the right side so I could put it on.

It was a fun time, let me tell you.

RIMG, I'm actually a bit rusty on my lindy too, but I'm glad you know a lil. Sorry I live far away too. My hubby knows a bit, but it's actually my lil bro that I dance with most of the time. I'm trying to get my friends to start swing dancing again. They have pretty regular dances here every 3rd Fri. of the month.

RugBug, like RIMG, I don't really know the specific names, but I just kinda go with it. I do know the Charleston though! That's really cool that you're actually teaching someone! Sorry 'bout your arm.

Very nice pic of you! Beautiful smile! Welcome to pic companionness!

HK, your pictures are awesome. I think I read that you bought your Kaylee costume from a prop shop type of place. Yes? It's fantastic.

To pay no attention to the moving on of this thread, I found this picture...the one I was looking for:

Hair is much better there. All controlled and danceable. Problem with that long flying hair is twofold: 1. dizziness...you can't spot for multiple turns. 2. it whips around and hits my lead in the face and I don't have baby soft hair. I've got thick, coarse hair. It's not pleasant.

RugBug - thanks for the compliment.

The photo of you with the dancy-controlly hair and red bandana? AWESOME! I wish I knew how to do that. I think my hair is too uncivil for such styling, though.
