History of the Lindy Hop Dance

People who are interested in taking Vaughan Lindy Hop classes often want to know a bit about the history behind this and other ballroom dances. Originally named by Ray Bolger, after Colonel Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic, this Swing style had as much “getting into the air” as possible. The more acrobatic versions were limited to ballrooms, of which the most famous was the New York’s Savoy Harlem.

Popular musical groups of today have revived interest in the musical styles from the original Lindy Hop era and have fired the imagination and enthusiasm for a whole new generation of Lindy Hop dancers. However, the highly acrobatic style used for exhibitions is not necessary for today’s good dancers to enjoy this perennial favourite. The rhythmic patterns take place over two or more measures of music and can be danced to a variety of musical interpretations.
