Dance blogs you should read or follow
When I started this blog, there was only one other standalone modern jive blog which launched around the same time.

It’s one of those dances that unless you’re brought up dancing it, it’s going to take year to get to a reasonable standard. It also unnerves me about all the rules of milongas. Compared to modern jive where…
