Swing Dance
What's a good title for a News Story on a Swing Dance Club?

Something cute and catchy? If you were writing for a newspaper and reported on a Swing Dance Club, what would you name your article?

FYI, in my opinion you should read up on the history of swing dancing (i.e. Lindy Hop), the Savoy Ballroom, and Frankie Manning before finishing your article.

I hope that helps!

First things first, you must have a good look of Puerto Vallarta and for that a parasail ride over the Banderas Bay would be a very good idea. After digesting the majestic beauty of Puerto Vallarta, cool off at Los Arcos or Las Marietas by scuba diving with Scuba Vallarta. Feeling artsy after viewing Puerto Vallarta and rushing through the waves? Why don't you get a portrait of yourself or perhaps even a caricature by a street artist on the Malecon? Yes, that will certainly get your creative and independent juices flowing!

What would be better than visiting the heart of Puerto Vallarta? Well, nothing! Cross out La Iglesia de Nuestra Senora De Gudalupe, which is the Church of Guadalupe, filled with luxurious religious artsy walls. Once you experience a totally spiritual atmosphere, next comes the "flea market" at El Centro Mercado Municipal where you can bargain for all the items that you like. Further more experience the enchanting night cruise of Mexico aboard a La Marigalante. If the night cruise is not enough to satiate your thirst for the beautiful Puerto Vallarta, then rent a car and explore all the beaches, even the isolated ones along the Nayarit coast for some peace of mind and adventure. You can even rent a motorbike if you want the clean air of Puerto Vallarta singing in your ears and explore the streets.

It is said that any place is barren without its history, therefore saunter down the memory lane of this place by walking down Rio Cuale River Walk and visit the pre-Hispanic museum. Visit the art galleries and have a look at the spectacular works of the Mexican artists.

Feeling a little sporty after a walk back in time? Have a swing at one of Puerto Vallarta's 7 world class golf courses, indeed, you can certainly swing it. You can even hike or take a horseback ride through the jungle to Yelapa's waterfall, which is really magnificent and wondrous.

Let's see, you love animals, well everyone loves Dolphins. Plunge into the waters and interact with the lovable and friendly Pacific bottlenose dolphins at Dolphin Adventure. You can also go to Banderas Bay and watch whales or a whale photo safari. Lovely and romantic atmosphere of Puerto Vallarta might make you crave for a romantic night out. Ask your beloved and enjoy a romantic dinner at La Palapa Restaurant on Los Muertos Beach, you wouldn't regret it. You can even dance the night away and let out some steam at the nightclubs along the Malecon.

After having such adventures, you must pamper yourself with a massage or spa treatment and have refreshing cocktails served in a coconut shell. Loving it yet? Visit www.pvrpv.com and avail new offers on Puerto Vallarta rentals, so that you could visit more often for your "emergency yet much needed get away."

Want more adventure? Visit the two swinging bridges from Isla Rio Cuale and wobble your way through them. Everybody loves rides! Well, at the Splash Water Park, go wild on the 9 slides (toboganes), you will have a lot of fun! How about catching a bus? Take a bus to Punta de Mita and experience the wonderful and pleasing atmosphere at El Anclote beach. You would not regret it!

Need a little chivalric action, visit the Puerto Vallarta bull-ring on Wednesday evenings and see a bloodless bull fight. You can end your Wednesday's thinking about Thursdays, because that's when you can listen to the Municipal Band at the Plaza. Guess what, if you miss Thursdays you can listen to it on Sunday.

Your game plan is pretty much full now! So get packing...! And Enjoy!

The "Golden Age" referred to here spans The Jazz Singer and the advent of the talkies to the death throes of the old studio system in the 1960s.

Not surprisingly, the bulk of this collection originated with the Tiffany's of the screen musical, M-G-M, a body of work whose riches her...
