		<description><![CDATA[Are you going on your first trip to a swing event? Or have you finally realized that every single time, you forget something? After over a decade of travelling&#8211;whether to learn, to teach, to DJ, to perform, to compete, or just to have fun&#8211;I&#8217;ve collected a pretty extensive list of stuff to remember.

		<description><![CDATA[Some swing dancers love routines, some hate them. Since I started off in the &#8220;not a fan&#8221; dept. and moved on to choreograph more numbers, routines, sequences and so on than I can remember, let me explain the value of choreography for people whose only goal is pure social dancing.
