Today we celebrate on the 108th birthday of legendary Lindy hopper Frankie Manning!

World Lindy Hop Day honors all the dancers and musicians who contributed to the creation, development, continuation, and proliferation of this vital African American dance, which was born and bred in Harlem, NY.

Although Frankie passed away in 2009, we celebrate World Lindy Hop Day on his birthday because he is revered for his vital role in the history of swing dancing and his spirit lives on in the hearts and feet of swing dancers around the world.

Today, let's celebrate Frankie and all those who influenced Lindy Hop!

Happy International Dance Day 😍

Thanks for being a part of our community and coming out to learn a new dance step every week! We love you and appreciate you all 😍

See you on the dance floor!!
