Last night I learned to swing dance in a parking lot with a stranger.
I have a bruise the size of Texas on my elbow though. Said stranger was offended by my lack of trust in the dipping department. Apparently nameless dancing strangers really will not drop you when they tell you that you are going to be dipped. But if you don't trust them, get stiff and try to catch yourself, you will both fall down and you will hurt yourself.
