Dancing at the Caves

Last night I went dancing at the Caves!  It was for the sixteenth birthday celebration of a wonderful dancer, and a very fun experience!  The Caves (actually, I believe that its technical name is the Wabasha Caves, but I'm not sure about that) is a place in St. Paul that has swing dancing every Thursday.  They also have tours, but I am not clear on all the details there.  There was live music - "Swing Beat" was the band - and they did a great job.  I went with a group of about 20 teens, and as far as I could tell they all had just as much fun as me!  The Titanic, the Cyclone, the double-arm turn, and the Sweetheart (exactly like the Sweethearts in cha-cha) were all new moves that I learned, and I was very happy to be able to add them to my swing-dancing repertoire.  Happy birthday, Micheal, and thanks to all of you for such a memorable night of dancing!
