And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were taking swing 1, cover charges were reasonable, bands didn't play so many covers, and other dancers respected your floor space. Respect your own floor space. Don't expect anyone to protect you if you get clocked by a novice lindy hopper. Don't mess too much with your swing wardrobe, or by the time you're 40, you'll look like Aunt Mame. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who tell you swing is just another macarena on the decline.
Advice is a form of insecurity.
But trust me on the Wingtips.
