We are a bit early! Still, we want to celebrate Interaction Lindy Hop day with you! 23rd of May, we celebrate the joyest dances of all, Swing Dance (Lindy Hop is part of Swing)! FYI the official day is the 26th, but the Friday is more funΒ
We are super happy to have the privilege to dance on the music by De Jong INC!
Swing dance is a unifying community dance for all people from different backgrounds and it goes along with the rich and hard Afro-American history. 26th of May refers to the birthday of one of the biggest investors in this dance, Frankie Manning. Nowadays, this dance forms a universal language between dancers and folks really love to travel so that they can explore the dance in local communities.
