Lindy Hop
The Lindy Hop is the original partnered swing dance invented
during the late 1920s in Harlem that evolved alongside jazz music
in the '30s and '40s. It was a street dance that allowed for
rhythmic improvisation and social dancing, and is now danced in
almost every major city in the world. Swing dancing is joyful and
fun!
