Anyone out there looking for an adventure teaching swing in Cambodia? If so, consider this...
Phnom Penh Pswings kicked off this past November, with the help of visiting swing dancers from Beijing Swings and Saigon Swings. Since then, we have been steadily growing, with about 20 students taking classes regularly (with an incredible balance of leaders and followers), and a few who join us for our weekly social dance party. Unable to find a teaching partner, I started teaching by myself and that's the way it went for about three weeks. Then one lucky day a lovely young lindy hopper from Switzerland heard swing music while walking by our club and to her pleasant surprise, she found us dancing upstairs. I was lucky enough to have her join me in teaching, and she even extended her NGO contract to help us out for two months.
But sadly, she is leaving. Being a follower myself, I'm running out of "leader moves". And although I can hold my own when it comes to wearing the leader shoes, I still dance "like a girl". I really wish my fellas had a MAN to show them how to lead instead of me.
Now women are also invited to come teach...I'm definitely not discriminating here...not at ALL! But if a man did decide to come teach with me, it would be a dream come true. I'm not looking for a swing romance here, by the way--just a teaching partner.
One other thing I should mention: this is not a big money-making opportunity. I only charge $5/lesson, and locals pay $2.50. This is just the way it is here--people won't pay a lot. So I do it for the love of swing, to create something new here, and because I'm selfish (so I'll have someone to dance with). If you decide to do this, you'll have to find another way to support yourself.
Interested? If so, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a line and let's talk about swingin' in the Penh.
