It's that time of year again: Cladrite Radio’s annual Halloween Marathon, when our toe-tapping tunes of the 1920s, '30s and '40s turn just a little bit terrifying, is underway! The spooky fun ends at midnight ET on Tuesday, so don't miss out—tune in now!

“Now here's a very, entrancing phrase, It will put you in a daze. To me it don't mean a thing, But it's got a very peculiar swing.

Zaz, zuh, zaz, zuh, zaz, zuh, zay Zaz, zuh, zaz, zuh, zaz..

Now, 'zaz, zuh, zaz' was handed down, From a bloke down in Chinatown. It seems his name was Smoky Joe, And he used to hi, de, hi, de, ho.

Zaz, zuh, zaz, zuh, zaz, zuh, zay Zaz, zuh, zaz, zuh, zaz..

When Smoky Joe came into town, And he kicked the gong around, Any place that he would go, Minnie the Moocher she was sure to go.

With her zaz, zuh, zay And her zaz, zuh, zaz, zuh, zaz....

It makes no difference where you go, There's one thing that they sure do know. There's no need for them to be blue, 'Cause zaz, suh, zaz will always see them through

Zaz, zuh, zaz, zuh, zaz, zuh, zay Zaz, zuh, zaz, zuh, zaz..“

Never Surrender On What You Truly Want. Find a way, not an excuse. Find a reason to do it, not to give up on it. Create a path where there is none, because you will only regret it otherwise! There is always a reason not to do it and always a way to fail, but there is also always a way to succeed and a reason to do it. This was the place, where the magic of #LindyHop and #Swingdance started from and am happy to be back to give it out to more dancers, who are willing to take it like the way I did it. From all other districts that I went through only #Kitgum district as tried the best to engage girls into the dance and am so happy for the improvement that. I love it the way each of them was feeling the music and dance even though it's their first time to give it a try. I believe with time, we shall more dancers from Kitgum who are like me to travel the world as they share with others. #blacklindyhoppersfund #blhfoundation #lindyhopperslife #LindyHop #lindyhopper #lindyhopping #lindyfocus #heartofdanceafricarhythm #herrangdancecamp #pacificswingdancefoundation #frannkiemanning #SoloJazz #solojazzdance #solocharleston #solojazzmoves #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #Ugandaswingkids #SwingDanceUganda (at Kitgum Youth Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8IEe1raGo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Never give up. I made the decision never to quit no matter what, no matter how many times I fail, or how many times things get difficult, two things are going to happen; I either going to succeed, or I going to die trying! So now, I tell you to begin and make the decision that I will never ever going to quit no matter what, then you will succeed, it’s as simple as that! When I started this project, I knew that it will be hard in terms of funds for me to reach out all the districts with the team, I want to move with, but nevertheless I won't quit no matter what. Introduction of Lindyhop and Swing Dance in Northern Uganda is now in three big districts. I will be following up to see the growth of the dance and also sharing with them more platforms. Calling for more support so that we can finish up this project in Kitgum district well. I know people are really eager to watch the videos of the workshops. I have one challenge that my phone can't post videos and if I get a new then well and off for you to enjoy a lot of lovely videos. @the_love_wiz @bluemarbleday @blacklindyhf @jazzlinswing @lost0in0seoul @bad_ass_jazz_festival @usmissionuganda @lindyhopchamps @lindy_boogie_hoppers @frankiemanningfoundation @pacificswingdance @get_hep_swing @tenaarmstrong @anduze_jazz @herrangdancecamp @kaninikiiru @whatchaknow_jo @cousinskeether @sunnysideswingstudio @leelapetronio @littlebigswingcamp @camphollywood #blacklindyhoppersfund #BLHF #bluemarble #blhfoundation #blackdance #lindyhopper #lindy #Lindyhop #lindyhopping #lindyfocus #hermeslindy #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #SwingDanceUganda #Ugandaswingkids #Uganda (at Kitgum Municipality) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl2ynNHo00z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are so happy to see the turn up of dancers in a big number to attend #lindyhop and #swingdance workshops at Gulu youth center. As today is our last day in Gulu. We are calling all dancers to come in much time and also invite more girls to take part on today's class as we are going to focus more on #lindyhop which requires us to dance with partners. As you had requested me as Okurut George to talk more about dance opportunities and what is needed as a dancer to be having, cause many have been dancing but they don't see any progress in their dancing. Let's keep time and we share more on that angle because we learn from each other always. #Kitgum District will be our next stop so if you are there just get ready for us. @blacklindyhf @bluemarbleday @frankiemanningfoundation @pacificswingdance @camphollywood @littlebigswingcamp @lia_mar_7 @bad_ass_jazz_festival @herrangdancecamp @savoycup_official @anduze_jazz #gulu #peacedanceproject #SwingDanceUganda #Ugandaswingkids #lindyhop #lindyhopper #lindyhoplife #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #swingout #solojazzpower #SoloJazz #swingdancing #swingdancer #swingdancefestival #swingdance #laswingers #blacklindyhoppersfund #frannkiemanning (at Gulu, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxpKkKIED-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Show me a person who found love in his/her life and did not celebrate it with a dance.” ― Shah Asad Rizvi This is why we have decided to celebrate the legacy of #FrankieManning and #NormaMiller through introducing #LindyHop and #Swingdance to different parts of Uganda 🇺🇬. As today, we start our workshops with dancers of Gulu. We got an amazing teachers who will be sharing with these dancers through zoom from USA that's @time2swing and that gives us the love and unity is the community.

Thank you @blacklindyhf for standing with us on this cause so that we can have more Africans coming back to the dance. @peacedanceprojectgulu thank you for giving us the space to share in with dancers of Gulu and we can't wait to do more collaborations in dance, so that our communities can grow more bigger.

What can I teach myself that can be useful in my life? 1. Accept the fact that not all friends are meant to stay in your life and many just want to use you. 2. Make sure you finish whatever stuff you have started, you waste more time by giving up on plans or anything real soon. 3. If you want to be perfect in anything, don’t forget to invest at least 10,000 hours. It could be driving, learning a new language etc. 4. Never replace some important tasks with urgent tasks! 5. If you are still a student in college, make sure you carry extensive research on topics more than whatever your professor gives to you. 6. As a man, be at least be settled in life before falling in love. 7. Even though taking risks is good, make sure you take calculated risks most especially when it involves a decision that might impact your life. Same thing with the settling of goals. There is a difference between realistic and unrealistic goals. There is also a difference between calculated and uncalculated risks! 8. Learn how to read paychecks and receipts anytime you make purchases. That's is the easiest way to start learning about how to manage and control money. 9. If nobody is jealous of you, then you are not really progressing in life. 10. Travel as much as you can, you will be amazed by how your view about life will change. #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #traveldancer #traveltheworld #swingdancer #swingdancing #swingdancelessons #lindy #lindyhopper #lindyhoplife #lindy26 #solojazz #solojazzdance #solocharleston #solojazzmoves #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #SwingDanceUganda #peaceofmind #happiness #yogaflowwithokurutgeorge (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZAXdxr3GK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After You’ve Decided Who Matters - Put Up Protections I want to protect my headspace from getting sidetracked by those who don’t matter, so I have to put up some initial guards. Here are some typical ones that make it a little easier: Don’t share your dreams & goals with people who won’t support you 100%…this is a big one. On the flip side, *definitely* share your goals and dreams with those who *will* support you and soak up that cheerleading! Let it fuel you. Block people on social media that you already anticipate problems with, or expect criticism from. Unfollow social media accounts that make you feel badly, guilty, distracted, emotional, negative, or self-conscious…anything that messes with your headspace. Connect with people (even strangers) who are on a similar path and cheer each other on - be a positive force for others too. Connect with people who are way ahead of you, and let it be a source of inspiration and motivation! Successful people aren’t the people usually slinging mud - they understand the journey. Life is beautiful and complicated always. #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #lindyhop #swingdance #Charleston #solojazz #african #solotraveler #solocharleston #charlestonlife #1930sjazz #1920sjazz #peaceofmind #focus #loveyourself #beyourself #SwingDanceUganda (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkEaobErLhN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Showcasing #SoloJazz at Righteous of God International Ministries in Mukono after my long trip in Europe without no rest, I had to do this performance so that my fellow young generations can understand what Solo Jazz Dance is has they have been hearing by word of mouth. Thanks so much everyone who was around especially the students from different schools and dancers in Mukono district. Hope to see you again as I come back to teach you #lindy and #solojazz in your areas. 📸📸 @lumaladegreate #solojazz #solojazzpower #solojazzmoves #solocharleston #happiness #dance #fun #sharing #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #charlestonlife #charlestonsc #traveldancer #traveling #SwingDanceUganda (at Righteous of God International Ministries Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjTf1sCLE20/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are born to serve with love no matter what we shall make it. Has Okurut landed in Uganda, today 03/10/2022 he was invited by Mareesa and Pastor Binaisa Emmanuel at Righteous of God International Ministries to open up the talent show which had brought a lot young generations to showcase their talents through music, dance and drama. Okurut did one minute Lindyhop performance with Mareesa and very one was really wondering, about the dance because it's their first time to watch performance of Lindyhop. It was of our privilege to share Lindyhop and Swing Dance to different parts of Uganda, so now it's time to move to all different communities in our country. Hope to see more dancers from this ministries joining Lindyhop world. 📸📸 @reaganlumala Thanks so much #Marisa for the invite to showcase Lindyhop at Righteous of God International Ministries. #lindyhopperslife #Lindyhop #solocharleston #SoloJazz #solojazzpower #swingdancing #swingdance #swingdancelife #swingdancelessons #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #charleston #ugandaswingkids #SwingDanceUganda (at Mukono) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjQG71mofmo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
