The place was packed, but not so packed that there wasn't room for dancing. In the middle of the evening, they had a Jack and Jill Speed Dancing competition. Generally for swing dancers a Jack and Jill competition means that you are assigned a partner a few minutes before beginning and that is who you compete with, but since it was a speed dancing competition, every 50 seconds a gong sounded and the competitors got new partners. There was a screen that scrambled the dancer's numbers and when the scrambling stopped and showed the pairs, they had to frantically find who they were to dance with and jump right in. It was very funny to watch and they gave really nice prize baskets.
My friend, Mandy, goes swing dancing every Thursday after work and I think I'm going to make it a habit. I met a lot of interesting people and had a great time dancing. :)
