Lindy Hop

Lindy Hop: The Dance of Freedom and Flair

Lindy Hop is an energetic and playful swing dance that captures the exuberance of the jazz era. Born in the ballrooms of Harlem in the late 1920s, Lindy Hop is known for its lively rhythm, dynamic partner exchanges, and the freedom it gives dancers to improvise and express themselves. It is the original swing dance that paved the way for styles like Jive, West Coast Swing, and East Coast Swing.

Danced to an upbeat 4/4 time signature, Lindy Hop features a signature “rock step” and “triple step” combination, making it both fast-paced and highly rhythmic. The dance is celebrated for its impressive aerials, spontaneous turns, and joyous movements, allowing dancers to bring their unique personalities to the floor. From its smooth six-count steps to its explosive eight-count Charleston moves, Lindy Hop brings a contagious sense of fun and connection.
