Cloudland Dance Supports Black History Month: Swing dancing is done to swing music, and swing music is jazz music, and jazz music came from the African American experience in the 20th Century.

I do love that everywhere in the PNW you find green wooded areas, often just in your backyard. It’s a balm for the soul.
