| | Southern California Lindy Society - Lindy Hop |
| | There are two main styles of Lindy Hop, the Savoy style, which is characterized by long horizontal lines (Frankie Manning is a good example), and the G.I. style, which is more upright (Dean Collins is a good example). | | | For those of you who may not know, Lindy Hop is the original swing from the 1930's and 1940's done to the music of such greats as Cab Calloway, Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan, and such modern composers as, my personal favorite, Bill Elliott (a local L.A. Band Leader/composer). | | | At the advanced levels, Lindy Hop is one of the most improvisational dances I've ever learned. |

| | Known from the 1930s as "Jitterbug", it was widely danced until the late 1950s when prevailing taste in music shifted to a six beat format (the "Motown" beat). | | | The expressiveness and color of the music was matched in zoot fashion. | | | A popular jazz-oriented big band jazz style that flourished in the 1930s. |

| | They wanted that the WRRC should cover the Lindy competitions and education for Lindy beside Rock 'n' Roll and Boogie Woogie, because it is very much connected to Rock 'n' Roll and Boogie Woogie. | | | They were no doubt blissfully unaware of the rumblings in Europe, which made it a perfect place to Start a World Lindy Hop Championships run by the World R and R Federation picking a continent ignorant of its prior shady dealings. | | | Later it was mainly influenced by the Rock n Roll music of the 50s. |

| | The best style would depend on what type of music you are dancing to at the time, Geographics, the theme of the dance being held, geographics, the speed in which the music is played and the dance knowledge of you and or your partner. | | | Music being the main factor of change as it seemed every ten years the music changed. | | | As time went on, dance contests became more and more "attention getting." In the 1930's a dancer named "Frankie Manning" *claimed to add the first Air-Step" (lifts/ flips) into the Lindy (Al Minns and Leon James as well). |

| | Learning to Lindy Hop |
| | Lindy Hop is a great dance: energetic, exhuberant, and wild, yet groovin' and really well matched to the music to which it is danced. | | | If there aren't outside opportunities for dancing to the right kind of music, find a big enough space and some good swing CDs, and invite people over. | | | From the time you learn the four basic moves (swing out from open position AKA the full Lindy turn, the jockey or Lindy circle, a basic Charleston step, and the swing out from closed position), you're ready to dance the Lindy Hop. |

| | The Beginning of the Lindy Hop |
| | At the Savoy the Lindy Hop got hotter and hotter, as people danced to the top Big Bands in the land. | | | When it looked like it couldn't get any better, a young dancer named Frankie "Musclehead" Manning created the first airsteps in 1935, and the Lindy Hop soared. | | | The styling got refined and was executed so well that the dance was a joy to watch as well as do. |

| | What is the Lindy Hop |
| | Known for its musicality and innovativeness, Lindy Hop enjoys a continued revival and is still avidly danced throughout the world. | | | For more information, check out this transcript of Ken Burn's interview with Frankie Manning and Norma Miller, two early pioneers of this great dance. | | | Whereas the Charleston involved dancing in "closed" position, Lindy Hop has the partners breaking away, yet still coming together and breaking away, thus it visually "swung" with the music. |

| | Lindy Hop History |
| | Just as swing music was the perfect mating of African and European musical temperments, classic Lindy Hop was the perfect marraige of Afro and Euro dance temperments. | | | Original Lindy Hopper Frank Manning is the living source of info we have on this style. | | | He has gone right back to the essence of the dance as "partnered jazz-dance." Although at one time a key player in defining a particular style of Lindy as "it," he has seen into the very core of the dance: the music, your own body, and your partner are your only guides. |
