"I never taught people where to step on '2', because when I learned how to dance there was no '2'. We just danced to the music." ~ Frankie Manning Why am relating it to the Frankie Manning quotes about is that one of my students from Lira asked me some questions like, "I should tell them about the music of swing dance." "What is Swing and Lindyhop?" So now am requesting people are well informed with these knowledge of Swing music 🎶 so that we can have a zoom class with my students. We are so happy that now, the dancers in Lira District are so much interested in #Lindyhop and #Swingdance. But we have questions here and I need some help with them. Among these communities, girls are really few represented and now what should be done to encourage more girls to start coping up with dancing like Lindyhop in Uganda 🇺🇬 because now during my classes I do have 17 students but only three are girls and the rest are boys. Much appreciations to @blacklindyhf for standing up with me to spread #Lindyhop and #swingdance to rural areas of Uganda now. @frankiemanningfoundation @pacificswingdance @frankie_manning_radio_show_ @bad_ass_jazz_festival @sunnysideswingstudio @collectivevoicesforchange @ysbdnyc @roserswing @lindyhopchamps @lindyhopdubai @lindyhopsaarbruecken @lindyhoprevolution @herrangdancecamp @kaninikiiru @tenaarmstrong @swinginwithsammy @sing_lim @ryan_francois_jazz #lindyhopperslife #lindyhop #lindy #lindyhopping #Lindyhop #lindyfocus #lindyhopdance #swing #swingdance #swingdancelife #swingdancefestival #swingaroundtheworld #1920s #1930s #solojazzmoves #SoloJazz #solocharleston #solotraveler #solojazzpower #lira #liracommunity #liradance #SwingDanceUganda #Ugandaswingkids #instructorokurutgeorge #yoga #acroyoga #OkurutGeorge (at Lira, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cljpe0irtkA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
