Chinatown leaps with joy at epic swing dance street party

Hundreds of swing noobs converged on Yaowarat’s Old Market last night to learn the basic steps of the dance.

Despite the street being packed shoulder to shoulder with aspiring dancers, most managed to find the space needed to Charleston, Chicken Walk, or Lindy Hop just fine while grooving to live jazz band The Stumbling Swingout. 

The large-scale street dance party capped off Bangkok Design Week.
