When I was a little kid, I was absolutely in love with the women who sounded and looked like Jessica Rabbit or Rita Hayworth. Back in primary school, I used to play that I was Humphrey Bogart and I was losing my mind every time I heard a trumpet solo that sounded like… well, a trumpet solo in a swing tune. Now, I’m at the beginning of my 20’s, and nothing has really changed, except that I have my very own Rita Hayworth, many of the people tell me I look like that certain guy from the movie Casablanca, and I do play swing music, even if I don’t play the trumpet.

I have to say, I am really thankful for this community, called Keep Swinging, not just for teaching me how to dance Lindy Hop but for the way they are, because when I was joining them, I felt like I finally arrived home!
