Swing Out Pasadena with Frank Manning!!

Tami, Frank and Erin leading the original Shim Sham

At 93, Frankie Manning still amazes me! Equally amazing are the sisters, Tami and Erin of the Pasadena Ballroom Dance Association! This weekend Swing Out Pasadena was in full swing with plentiful classes and thanks to the popularity of Dancing With The Stars, jam-packed classes of hopeful follows and leads!

It was so much fun!! I attended my personal favorite class, led by Kenneth & Helena (with two adorable kids in tow!), the Swing Rueda! A sort of swing ho-down complete with call-outs by the teachers!

The evening dance and dinner, held at the beautiful Altadena Country Club, also celebrated a belated dinner for Frankie!

Swing Out Pasadena was a lot of fun and thanks to all who taught, worked it or attended!
