WHAT IS THE LINDY HOP?

The Lindy hop (often called Swing Dancing) is an African American partner dance which started in the integrated ballrooms of 1930s Harlem, New York. It developed from the 1920s Charleston and had its peak during the 1930s and 40s.

It was somewhat sanitised by Hollywood and widely danced until the late 1950s (often called the jitterbug). The Lindy Hop had a resurgence in the late 90s, spread across the world and has been going strong since then!

It is a social partner dance that is playful and full of the innovative and rebellious spirit of the African American culture that created this dance. It's all about having fun, improvisation and enjoying the incredible music of the big band era. Some basic steps, and you'll be dancing.
