One of the things I love about summer in New York is all of the dancing (much of it free!) that takes place outside. Last Friday Dustin and I went to the Midsummer Night Swing Ceili Dance. The last time I went to a Ceili was in early high school, when Bronwen and I went to one in Portland that was in the common room above a police station, so I’d forgotten exactly how much fun it is. It’s also amazing exercize — a woman in our set was wearing a pedometer and a couple of hours in announced that we’d danced four miles.
On Sunday we make it over to the Pier 54 Moondance for swing to the Sultans of Swing (Who Dustin actually danced to at Crystal Ballroom in Portland about six years ago.).

Ah, the ceilis at the Portland Police Club! Good times. I went a couple years ago and it was as much fun as ever.
