Lee Ann,
How's the dancing where you live? Tucson's is up and down; not a lot of places to go. There are six studios here but only two actually have open dances to the public. The USABDA here has occassional dances. There are three swing clubs here; The Tucson Swing Dance Club and SwingZone though these are strictly west coast swing and there is the Tucson Lindy Hop Society which has been pretty active.
If you can I'd try to get to the places in the Phoenix area.
