LINDY HOP
The Lindy Hop is a traditional African-American dance of the early 20th century, originating in Harlem, New York.
It's supposedly named after the aviator Charles Lindbergh, who 'hopped' the Atlantic in 1927.
It's a partnered dance that is full of joy and the most well-known of the Lindy Hoppers is Frankie Manning. He will always be inextricably linked with The Savoy Ballroom, as one of the famous 'Whitey's Lindy Hoppers'.
