Swing Swag 

If you're reading this blog, the odds are pretty good you have someone who likes dancing on your gift list this holiday season.

There's a brand new line of dancer-designed shirts called Swing Swag you might want to check out. They do dance themed Christmas holiday dance shirts, graphic swing dance t-shirts, ballroom dance shirts, funny dance themed ones, dancing around the world, a kid's section, as well as a whole section of country and line dance shirts! Yee-haw!

Their dance shirts are pretty cool, unique, and well made. They fit pretty true to size, maybe slightly on the roomy side. I ordered a few with a coupon code and I love them. They arrived in a week. I already wore one Christmas shirt out dancing... and it's not even Thanksgiving yet kind of love them. Use coupon code 38STEP for 20% off a purchase of 2 or more at www.swingswag.etsy.com .
