Lindy HopThe Lindy Hop is a partnered swing danced born out of the ballrooms of Harlem in the 1930s. Taking it's cue from the upbeat swing and jazz music of it's era, the Lindy Hop matched it in an energetic physical dance! Characteristic of the Lindy Hop is the signature "swingout", with partners swinging around and away from each other.
Today, contemporary Lindy Hop still tries to stay true to original form, which was a combination of various dances born in the Swing era, but most notably, the upbeat Charleston. |
