These two are responsible for getting hundreds at least (haven't counted) of people dancing to swing music. Those are a lot of people who otherwise might have been sitting by the sidelines and feeling miserable because they "can't" dance. A couple of hours with them and you will have more fun on the dance floor than you thought possible.
