Help Mr Vim learn to swing dance.

Well, I am in superb shape even though I do say so myself. I'm the physical training rep for my unit here in Juneau... and I wore everyone else out on the square dance floor during our folk fest... But I should probably concentrate on some more stretching and balance exercises, don't you think Paisley?

Lolly, do let me know.

Mr Vim, Have you tried Pilates? I cannot do yoga so well, but Pilates is great and a super workout. Lots of men take it too.

Not to put out TMI, but--how to say this--good movement is a very attractive trait in a man.

I heartily second that Paisley!

I've just purchased "Learn to Lindy Hop with Rusty Franks & Peter Flahiff" (level one). I'm yet to receive it but will let you know if it's any good, it certainly looks comprehensive.
The DVDs can be purchased here

Rusty is the bomb. I highly recommend her also. I also heartily recommend Sylvia Sykes. She was taught by Dean Collins, a Savoy Ballroom dancer and the guru of Lindy and WCS on the west coast.

I really appreciate it... what a good lead!

Sorry for the delay. She checked around and no one in the scene up here (that she knows) knows of anyone down there.

Here is an okay instructional video from the 20's (It shows the single charleston for about a minute then it shows you how to do the Flat charleston) With a very amusing ending!
