It’s not just a dance; it’s a conversation, a burst of joy, a piece of living history that’s as vibrant today as it was in the ballrooms of the 1930s.

What Exactly is Lindy Hop?
Born in the late 1920s in the vibrant African American communities of Harlem, New York, the Lindy Hop is a true American art form. It’s a partner dance that blends the structure of ballroom with the improvisation and energy of jazz. It’s playful, energetic, and incredibly social. Forget strict, silent routines—Lindy Hop is about connection, creativity, and having a blast with your partner and the music.
