One of them is to dance the a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_Hop”Lindy Hop/a. Over the past couple of weeks, I have been taking Lindy Hop lessons at the UOttawa which are taught by a couple of students. These lessons have been a lead up to the Lindy Hop weekend in Baltimore at the end of the month. a href=”http://www.charmcityswing.com/”Charm City Swing /ais having a Lindy Hop marathon weekend of 20 hours of lessons and three night of dancing to a live band.
