    This is the second request I've gotten for swing dance instruction, and for some reason I think handling these is my least favorite part of being president. I've got to find somebody to delegate that to, I guess. Anyway, here's the original request:

    This is very short notice, but I am in great need of someone to do a little
    dance instruction at the Provo Maceys Food & Drug this Saturday from
    10-11am. We had advertised line dancing instruction and now I have no line
    dance teacher, but think any dance instruction would do. If anyone can help
    us, please e-mail me or call me at Maceys (***-****) or on my cell asap
    (***-****). Thank you! I would also be interested in finding out about
    performance possibilities for the future. [Name Redacted] - special events,
    Provo Maceys

    Names and phone numbers have been redacted here to protect the innocent, the guilty, and the beautiful. If anyone is interested in handling this, please go ahead and get yourself in touch with me. Otherwise, I'll probably call two or three of you on the telly-phone.

    Good thing they advertised line dancing instruction. While they don't know the difference between dances we certainly do. I don't think it's in the club's best interest to reinforce any associations between words that describe swing dancing and those that describe country dancing.

    I would politely decline such a request and inform them you'd be happy to teach when they advertise swing dancing and there are instructors available.

    I'm pretty sure most people know the difference between line dancing and... pretty much anything else. Unless you planned on showing up in chaps.

    FYI, someone has expressed interest about helping, and I sent them the contact numbers.

    Also, I suppose they could theoretically learn the Jitterbug Stroll.
