There was a full house at the Gotham Swing Club's monthly party. As usual, there were a range of dancers who not only danced with each other, they talked to each other too.

I didn't take many pictures this time because Alison Bert was testing out a LightScoop with her new camera (photos coming soon).

This one photo I liked is of Khrystyna. Not only is she an excellent dancer and an all around friendly person, she brings great fashion sense to every party she attends. Sometimes I have seen her wear two or three outfits at the same party. That is dedication to dance as a collective art. Khrystyna is just one of the many people worth knowing who attend West Coast Swing parties.

Fashion notes: Khrystyna's silk shirt is from the Juniors section of Macy's. Note the way that the splash of color draws one's eyes up to her face, which is an effect that good costume designers try to achieve. The shoes, a black open-toed practice sandal which is a style most popular with West Coast Swing dancers, are Comfort dance shoes which can be purchased on line at www.danceconnectionstore.com. Khrystyna's black Camp pants are from New York and Company.
