How to learn to swing dance?

2 questions.

1. What is the "official" name of the type of dance where the man kinda 'throws' the woman under each of his arms, still holding onto her obviously but she kinda flies under one of his arms and then he swings her back out front and then under the next arm? Is it just swing dancing? And what do you suggset would be the best way to learn this? DVD? Classes?

2. That brings my next question, let's assume I figured out the name of this dance and got my fiancee to agree to perform it with me as our first dance together at our wedding next year (slow dances are so boring!), would it be possible with my wedding dress? Would it be completely ridiculous if I changed in the bathroom to a much much cheaper (probably even 2nd hand) white dress simply for our first dance? And then back to my reg dress for the rest of the reception?
