Hello,

There will be a Swing dance competition and festival on May 11th from 2pm - 10pm in Seoul. The information is at this website, http://www.swingfestival.co.kr/.

Lessons will be available for those interested.

My brother, Marty Klempner, an internationally renowned swing dancer, will be a guest judge in the comptetion, so I said I would give a plug here.

okay, I've come to terms with Korean jazz pianists

but Korean swing dancing?



half of it is about feeling and improvization and musical interpretation

Swinger festival? Woohoo!

I'm excited! I'm a big swing fan, I danced during my years in University. I couldn't find an English link on the website you posted for the festival. Where will it be held?

Sounds interesting, can't dance for crap but the music is good.

Wandering through the site it's happening at:

장충체육관 Jangchung gym Line 3 Dongkuk Univeristy exit No 5 (Dongkuk Uni is one stop north of Yaksu, so very close to Itaewon if you are looking for it on the subway map).

"They're beating up a Swing Kid!"

Man, I hated that movie. At least Christian Bale redeemed himself in American Psycho. But then he was in that horrible Batman movie . . .

Swing dancing event . . . if it's a way to meet women, I suppose that I would consider going. But then again, I'm not in Korea at the moment.
