Paying it forward…selfishly.
I started my lindy hop habit a number of years ago, when after attending Atomic ballroom a couple of times with what can be best described as “functional” east coast swing abilities I decided I should learn lindy hop and signed up for some classes. I took a beginning series and started social dancing once or twice a week. After the beginning series ended I took an intermediate series and upon its conclusion the instructor approached me about a team that he ran. The team met for a couple of hours once a week to learn and practice. They performed publicly from time to time, but the point of the team was to help beginning lindy hoppers progress their dancing.
