For starters, the music is superior by far (for dancing). With artists like Glen Miller and Benny Goodman to work from, even highly derivative bands like The Cherry Poppin' Daddies keep you moving. Swing dancing also brings to mind a time when America wasn't quite so cynical. Post WWII, America was strong: Regardless of how many lay dead and dying, we were the champions. America was as yet untouched by Cold War Politics. Things were good. In today's all-to-serious, and all-to- cynical world, 1945 seems very far away. Sometimes the things I read in history books seem more real to me than the events of my own Grandfather's life. I never did learn how to swing dance. 1 have been doomed to a life of lurking in the back of ballrooms. But now that problem can be rectified. On Wednesday, February 3, Trina Royar will be offering part 2 of her Intro to Swing class. The class will be taught from 7-7:45 in the Grandroom at the UC. Part 1 was taught last fall. I don't expect that attendance at part 2 will be dependent upon attendance at part 1. There is no charge for the class. Following the Swing Dance class, there will be a class in Zydeco dancing, an eight-count couples dance that hark- ens from Louisiana. For more information, contact the UC at (828)227-7206. See you there! by Phoebe Esmon Features Editor I tried to get my Grandfather to teach me how to jitterbug once. He had played with a big band in college and was always playing Goodman-esque "licks" on a well-loved clarinet, so the way I saw it, he had to know how to jitterbug. He did (still does). He, of course, cried "sure!" and struck a very Fred Astaire dancing stance. "It goes like this," and proceeded to move very quickly, which I followed for.. .oh.. .3 seconds, after which point I just sort of gazed bleary-eyed in the general direction of his feet. A few seconds later he says, "got it?" To which I replied with slack-jawed awe. I never did get it. My favorite cartoons are the ones with the bobby-soxers swing dancing. I love old musicals. When I was in the fourth grade, I memorized and sang the entire ad for a swing collection entitled "Juke Box Saturday Night ," until my parents relented and bought my the albums so that I would know more than one line from each song. In short, I really dig this whole resurgence-of-swing- dancing-scene. Not to put down the Rave scene (otherwise known as high-impact aerobics) or the Grunge scene (mosh pit + Phoebe = Emergency Room), or any other scene that might be percolating out there, but I must say that the Swing thing's really What's your Swing Class? ClaSS Standing - The amount of time and energy devoted to the pursuit of Swing Dancing. Pre-FrOSh - First time dancers alight with the excitement and joy of Swing Dancing. Typical phrase: "Wow, this is so cool!" Freshmen - Relative new comers to the scene. Their skills are admittedly lacking but they bring an energy sorely lacking in the Seniors (see below). Typical Phrase: "Can you show me how to do that thing with the arms" SOPhomoreS • Freshmen who have mastered The Pretzel.' There are two varieties; people who take lessons and those who don't. Those who don't are characterized by an inability to stay on the beat, while those who do tend never to want to dance with Freshmen again. Typical Phrase: "Where'd you get those cool shoes?" JliniorS - Also known as The Regulars' of any establishment. They are able to carry on a conversation while dancing, own at least one pair of two tone shoes, resent having to wait on line to get in, and lose their ability to carry on a conversation about any matter other than Swing Dancing. Typical Phrase: "Remember karaoke nights at Bailey's?" Seniors - The best people dancing in the club. Have mastered getting on the guest list, know the names of all bouncers, resent that Sophomores know their best dance steps, drink heavily, and stare at the Pre-Frosh with equal parts lust and jealousy of their own lost youth. Typical Phrase: "Why did I ever go to Western?"
