The First Annual World Lindy Hop Day
People from all walks of life, ages, and from around the world are invited to experience this exuberant African American social dance that originated in Harlem! The goal is to spread the dance of the Lindy hop (aka swing dancing or jitterbug) to even a wider global arena
VISION
The vision of World Lindy Hop Day is this -
“The Lindy hop will be danced all over the world, to live big band music when possible or to recorded music when live music is not accessible. Everywhere that Lindy hop is danced, on the dance floors and off, people of diverse backgrounds will treat each other with respect and warmth. The history of the originators of the Lindy hop at the Savoy Ballroom will be made known to dancers and non-dancers everywhere.”
Here is the schedule below for Monday May 26th
