Swing Dancing! :)

For those of you that don't know...I'm a bit obsessed with Country Dancing. I go every week in Provo and I LOVE it!! Sometimes it gets a little intense. For instance, last week I was doing a lift where I stand right in front of the guy and he gives me a boost and I do a back flip over his head. We did fine the first two times...but the third time ended badly and I ended up with two broken fingers on my right hand and a hurt ankle. SO worth it!!! It was just hard to not go dancing for a week! But I toughed it out and went anyways last night. I usually like dancing with the instructor, Ed. He coached gymnastics for a few years so I trust him lifting me. Here is a video of us just messing around with some lifts. As you can tell...it's still a work in progress :)

This next video is of me and some guy Ed made me do some lifts with. I'm not sure what his name is...but he is good!

Wow Lis. That is so much fun! Be careful doing the flips :) Michael and I used to go country dancing all the time. What's the place called in Provo? We're looking for a good place to go. Being thrown around is a lot of fun! (I've only been dropped once, not by Michael, and nearly dislocated my hip. But I'm with you, it's totally worth it!)
