What is Lindy Hop?
It is the grandaddy of all swing dances. All of todays current partnered swing dances can trace their roots back to lindy hop either as the progenitor or as a source of inspiration. Danced in African American communities in the twenties, it went through a period of growth and development centered around Harlem, New York.

The Lindy Hop incorporates African rhythms and styling, European partnering elements, and is done to American music: jazz and blues.  Lindy Hop can be danced at a range of tempos and in a myriad of styles classical and contemporary. For a more detailed history of Lindy Hop please look at our articles on lindy hop.
