Swing Dance Freedom

Last night I enjoyed social swing dancing to live music, and today I had fun at a kite festival on a perfect summer day. What the two events had in common, besides a friend I went with, was freedom and joy of movement. The kites dancing together as they rose in the wind reminded me of the feeling of East Coast Swing. Rock step, triple step, triple step. Rock step, triple step, triple step. The crowd of colorful kites against the blue sky backdrop reminded me of the dance floor full of people smiling, swaying, bouncing, and experiencing the thrill of swing dance freedom.
