what is lindy hop?
Lindy Hop is a Black American art form that focuses on improvisation, rhythms, and jazz music. With Black vernacular jazz at its core, Lindy Hop seeks to create connection between two dancers and what they each hear in the music and feel in their bodies. The name Lindy Hop was inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s 1927 “hop” across the Atlantic.
