The Herräng Dance Camp claims to be and probably is the world's greatest swing dance camp. It is the nearest thing to paradise I have ever encountered, and if I could find some more powerful mosquito repellent, it perhaps would be paradise. Below you see a series of accounts of my visits there, which also serves as a story of my arrival in the world of Lindy hop. In 1999 I was a modern jiver who thought he was a good dancer, but was in for powerful lesson in perspective. By 2002 I was a committed swinger who taught his first lesson at Herräng.
