... though I think I'll leave swing to be learned on the fly - the little bit of ballroom, dance-lesson swing I've learned just seems too formal and not wild and passionate enough.
Each person learns differently. For me, having taken the exact same lessons, I've figured that what I need is more lessons. Lots more. I think the only way I'd ever be able to develop the wild and passionate swing would be to take lots of lessons, get the formalities set in my head, and then work them over.
Swing dance, to me, seems like poetry. I'll need to learn the rules very well before I'll be able to improvise. You, however, are not me, so YMMV.
