What is Lindy Hop?
Lindy Hop is a partner dance which was born in the African-American communities of Harlem, New York City in the late 1920's, danced to swing music. Today, it is danced worldwide, including here in Oakland! It's fun, playful, and totally improvised! See more of it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DTI_6CJkuug/
