POPPET
I went to a Swing class for the first time in ages the other night, it was brilliant. We did 6-beat and 8-beat, great fun :-)

Oh man I fucking LOVE 8-beat.
The swing outs are fantastic fun. Dun-dun-dundahdun-dun-dun-dundahdun. LOVE IT!

Yeah I had great fun with that and the Lindy turn
I really enjoyed 6-beat too because the moves are pretty much the same as in Jive so I could just focus on the styling and technique which are totally different

I know, Styling is fun!

We're going to a 50s swing night on NYE
Can't wait. The low and grounded thing is so different from Ballroom, I love it

What are you wearing?
I need outfit inspiration

Oh I have this amazing chiffon dress.
It's about mid thigh length, sheer, and has floaty sleeves, and ties around the waist.

Yeah that does sound lovely
I might have to watch Back to the Future for inspiration

I think you should wear a three peice suit if you can get hold of one. Not a black one, like a grey or even a tweed one!

I do have one but it's too nice to wear out on NYE!
I might go charity shopping though, good tip :-)

Did you take notes on your missus oral technique and flexibility as she was spitroasted?

I was busy!
Still not sure these are my car keys

Actually I have a question.
Was the class run through Swing Patrol, and if so, was the teacher a guy called Scotty Cupit?
(Poppet some assembly required., Thu 15 Dec 2011, 8:33, Reply)

Nope
The organisation is called Swing City, teacher's name was Rob I think. Let's face it, that would have been a long shot!

Ahaha not really.
The organisation in Melbourne, is also in London, Brisbane and Sydney, which is why I asked!
(Poppet some assembly required., Thu 15 Dec 2011, 8:35, Reply)

Aha
He may have been at the London Swing night we went to in September then
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 15 Dec 2011, 8:38, Reply)

I wouldn't be surprised if he was!

That might have been a weird conversation starter though, had I met him
Oh, yeah, a friend of mine knows you... well I say friend, she lives 9,000 miles away and we've never met, but we're friends on Facebook so it totally counts...
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 15 Dec 2011, 8:40, Reply)

Aha I don't know him, but I know people who know him.

(Poppet some assembly required., Thu 15 Dec 2011, 8:54, Reply)

That would have been even more awkward!
