The Beginning of the Lindy Hop (original) (raw)
The history of the Lindy Hop is told in the pages of this Archive, through the biographiesof the dancers and information on old filmclips. (You might try starting with Whitey's Lindy Hoppers.) Lindy Hop became a dance craze worldwide, known as Jitterbug. It evolved into many forms, such as West Coast Swing, Rock'n'Roll, and Boogie Woogie. But the authentic style, the original style, will always be the Savoy Ballroom style from Harlem, USA.
