What Is Lindy Hop?

History: Created in the ballrooms of Harlem, New York during the late 1920’s and early 1930’s, Lindy Hop is a fun, exciting dance for all ages. This energetic partner dance spread to California (developing also into a smoother style), and then the globe during World War II. Wildly popular, Lindy Hoppers danced to the sounds of Big Band Swing greats like Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington, eventually parenting new dances like West Coast Swing, Boogie Woogie, and Rock’n Roll.

Why you should dance Lindy: There is a growing social scene in the country and Lindy is often the swing dance to start with. Lindy Hop is also known for its stunning footwork, its ability to be danced at any tempo making it suitable for all.
