Dance, Thursday Period 5
El was dressed... a little oddly today. Instead of his usual Mariach outfit, he was wearing a zoot suit. Complete with long coat, felt hat with feather, and chain.
Yes, it was all in black. He doesn't actually own clothes of any other color. There was also a scorpion on the back of his coat.
"Today, we're going to learn one of the great American dances. Swing. Now, there are many types of swing dance, but I want to focus on some of the most famous, including the Lindy Hop, the Charlston, and the Shag. After all, we can't do everything. Most of us are only human."
El gave a short lecture on the history of swing dance.
"Normally, I would demonstrate with Nadia the steps, but I'm afraid my adventure on the mainland over the weekend has left me injured, and I don't want to hurt it further. So instead, I have a few videos you can watch and try to get the idea. If you need more one and one help, Nadia and I are here, as always."
El walked over to his guitar case, kicked it open and pulled out...
A CD case.
"Today, instead of me playing for you, which would be a bit absurd for swing, we will be listening to the music of one of the greatest Hispanic musicians who ever lived. Lalo Guerro."
