What is the Lindy Hop? Well we think it's the most fun you can have standing up, dancing around, shaking it out and getting crazy with a Swing Out. It was born of an era when everybody partner danced and the music was pretty much only made to dance to. It was the Swing Era of the 1920s, ´30s and ´40s, when the Big Bands would Swing and the Dancers would Swing Out. It's a dance that started in Harlem, New York, and is now done across the World. The dance is full of excitement; it's got Fancy Footwork, Crazy Tricks, Cool Dips and Smooth Moves. It was also the first dance to make a feature of the 'Air Step'.
