Summer is well underway in Japan. Rainy season is doing its thing - making sure things stay nice and muggy. The temperatures are no longer confortable, but I have no doubt they will be far worse in another month. Summer usually doesn't give it a rest until around October sometime. Bleh.
Add to that the threat of rolling power outages this summer and you can imagine how much I love this season.
All bitterness aside, one thing I DO love about this season are all the gorgeous hydrangea. There is a wide variety of them, all gorgeous, and EVERYWHERE. Their lovely cool shades seem totally out of place in this heat - but welcome nonetheless.

I don't know of any Swing Dance in Kyoto - but there is dancing in Osaka (30 minutes or so by train).
You are in luck - once a month there is a swing party on Sunday at Easy Dance Cafe. Here is the link to their website:

Note the "Easy Swing Party" on the calendar on the right. There will be a beginner and intermediate lesson before and then a swing party. It costs 1500 yen and includes a drink.
Hope you can make it!
Here is the homepage for the Osaka group in general. Our usual dance night is Wednesday every week - this Sunday is a special event.

Feel free to contact them for more information - all of the organizers speak English and Japanese.
