Swing kids. Teaching some 40 teenagers to dance is challenging, but Annie Irizari, Anita McBride and Marie Stoffer of our USA Dance chapter pulled it off last month at a lesson that was originally supposed to happen nearly two years ago in those simpler, pre-Covid times. Our three experienced dancers taught swing basics to a group of kids (and a few adults) from a local church (faces are blurred because they are underage). “Some were truly interested, and they were trying,” Annie said, noting that the group was made up of “truly beginner beginner” dancers. “We had some parents there, but they too wanted to learn and they too were challenged with corralling the adolescents.” Annie said another lesson may be in the cards — and she would welcome another volunteer or two to help. Thanks to Annie, Anita, and Marie for spreading the gospel of dance!
