If you live in a large urban area, go to swing places alone or with acquaintances, not friends

Why do you recommend against going with friends? I've found it's an ideal way to get started.

If I can throw in an additional recommendation - try a few places. Different swing places have different vibes, and you might not find the one you like right away. I think the biggest thing stopping most people is that they have an image of a swing place that they don't care for, and they don't know that there's a wide variety.

Going with friends will get you out there but prevent you (at least somewhat) from meeting and talking with strangers.

Ah, that's a good point. Perhaps just go with friends the first time? The first step is generally the hardest, it's nice to have friends there to guide you. It was how I was introduced to it, and we've helped a few other people the same way.
