Yeah. I kinda 
'd at the offer, but hey whatever, I have nothing going on tomorrow night. Anyone ever go swing dancing before? Any big expectations about it? Haha... I'm a terrible dancer so I think the whole night will be me making a fool of myself.
Update
OK if anyone ever wants to go swing dancing with someone else, don't do so as a date. You've been warned. It's an unspoken rule there that everyone dances with everyone else... and even from the get-go at the mini lesson they taught before the dance, you were split up and partnered with some random person of the opposite sex. Then you rotated through partners every dance or so.
And that's pretty much how it went. Danced with my date the first song (I'm absolutely terrible I found... she's real good and I think she was getting frustrated with me, so I had a pretty bad night in that regard). Every subsequent song you should see it... it's like a race to ask someone else. Like you spend the song you're dancing with both talking to your partner and scoping out your next one. It's an excellent way to meet people as you won't get turned down to dance with someone. Even the hottest chick in the place will say yes to you provided you ask her before someone else does.
Unfortunately that means squat, as you spend the dance talking to said chick (where they go to school, etc.) and when the song ends, it's on to the next person. Very little intimacy. It's a good confidence builder though if anyone has any trouble asking girls to dance or out or what not because no one will say no. (unless they're on their way out or already with someone obviously).
All in all I had fun though. It really wasn't a date whatsoever because I was with my date maybe for 15 minutes all night (danced for 3 hours). I'd like to see if I can get into it though... it seems easy enough and with a bit of practice I'm sure I could get the hang of it.
:thumbsup: interesting experience that I think everyone should try.
