Swing and Lindy Hop

Lindy Hop is the original swing dance that grew out of Harlem, NY and was all the rage during the Big Band era of the 30s & 40s when people danced together. The music was hot, the moves were wild, and the dance-halls were packed full every night. Lindy Hop is a dynamic partner dance that anyone can do, and is fun for everyone. No Partner is necessary to participate in any of the Swing classes.
