Sw!ng Out In Context
A couple of years ago, I listened to LaTasha Barnes lay out the vision for what was then going to be known as Swing 2020. Despite being excited about the prospect of the show that revolved around Lindy Hop, part of me doubted that they would actually be allowed to bring that vision to the stage. When I finally saw SW!NG OUT in person last week, I still could not believe what I was seeing because I was just shocked that we were getting to see Lindy Hop on stage being presented like this.
