THE LINDY HOP : is the hottest new/old style of Swing Dancing sweeping the nation.  The Lindy has recently been portrayed in the movies "Swing Kids", "Malcolm X", "A League of their Own", and "Swingers".  Also known as the JITTERBUG, the Lindy Hop is the first original swing dance having grown up with the CHARLESTON, EARLY JAZZ, and BIG BAND sounds of the 1920's and 30's.  It is the father of all Swing Dance and is experiencing world wide interest. 

FRANKIE MANNING : is one of the most significant  dancers of our Century.  He has created most of the steps that we know of as "Swing" dancing today!  Having grown up on the Savoy Dance floor in Harlem in the '20's, Frankie became one of the most sought after dancers.  He has spent his life choreographing for movies, Broadway theater, and touring the world performing and teaching the Lindy Hop.  Here's your chance to learn from a legend.  Don't miss it ! ! !

ALL CLASSES WILL TEACH DIFFERENT 
STEPS & STYLING. 
 
Classes will move quickly and be at an intermediate level.  You must know the 8 count Lindy Basics. To learn or refresh Lindy Basics and the Shim Sham: check Denise's
