Lindy Hop is the original partner swing dance, that was danced to the Big Band Swing Music of the 1930's/40's and now to modern swing bands. It is an African American dance that grew directly out of the Charleston. "Shorty George" gave the dance its name in 1927 soon after Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic. Come along to the 'Taster Class' on Sat 13 Sept where we will introduce you to some basic principles and get you Lindy Hopping. There's no need to bring a partner.
