The name: A "balance and swing" is a dance move from contra dancing, a kind of folk dancing from New England, like square dancing or the Virginia Reel, which I used to do a lot of and still love. But wait, there's more. "Balance" is always good on a blog, particularly if one might occassionally post items that reflect an opinion. And I also do a lot of swing dancing. "And" doesn't really have an explanation.
