If you're looking for an alternative to the study blues, or if coffee doesn't quite keep your blood moving like it used to, or if your smile lies somewhere between here and Siberia, you need to try swing dancing. Swing dancing has made a strong comeback in recent years. Characterized by couples bouncing around with free-spirited skill, this crafted art of partner dancing keeps feet moving. It doesn't end. Winnie Yuen, a medical school student and president of the Dancesport Club, said that not only is swing good for the soul, it's also good for the body.
Swing dancing is a lifetime sport much in the way golf is.
Once you play, you're hooked. Besides being fun, swing dancing is good exercise. The Dancesport Club at the University of Hawai'i offers classes every Sunday night at Studio 3 in the lower campus athletic complex, across the Stan Sheriff Arena ticket box office. Dancesport is also an official United States Amateur Ballroom Dancers Association Youth College Network. The club was founded in 1994, and their goal has been to introduce students to ballroom and Latin dancing.
