		Lindy hop disappeared from popular culture in the 1950s as rock and roll music and dancing replaced jazz, and jazz itself cooled and moved towards bebop.

		The Lindy Hop (or Lindy) is a partner dance that originated in 1920's and 30's Harlem, New York.
		Although the lineage and history of Lindy may be muddled, it is certain that it was born from the blending of African rhythms and movements with European structured dance.
		Lindy flourished there, partly because it was one of the few racially integrated ballrooms where White and Black could dance, be inspired and shared moves like no other place.

		For those of you who may not know, Lindy Hop is the original swing from the 1930's and 1940's done to the music of such greats as Cab Calloway, Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan, and such modern composers as, my personal favorite, Bill Elliott (a local L.A. Band Leader/composer).
		Lindy Hop grew out of many of the dances of the 1920's.
		There are two main styles of Lindy Hop, the Savoy style, which is characterized by long horizontal lines (Frankie Manning is a good example), and the G.I. style, which is more upright (Dean Collins is a good example).

	What is Lindy Hop
		Lindy Hop originated in New York's Harlem district in the 1920s, became famous in the 1930's (featuring in several well-known films made in that era) and eventually diverged into many more Swing-style dances, including Boogie-Woogie, East and West Coast Swing, Hustle, Jive, and Rock 'n' Roll.
		Lindy Hop is probably the most exciting style, characterized by jumps, spins, turns and throws, and was once seen on dance floors all across America under various names.
		In pre-war Europe, Lindy Hop was seen mostly in demonstrations by visiting US troupes, but after WWII other Swing styles became popular (allegedly, one of the legacies left by the GIs as they departed France was Jive).

		In the last 90 years the Lindy has become the first form of swing as we know it today (the Great Grandfather of all Swing if you will) and along with the Charleston were the main dances of the 1920's.
		During the Lindy Hoppers reign, the Lindy was to take on a newer "Sophisticated or cleaned up look." The Hoppers went on to become the main Swing groups of the time and traveled all over the world performing in many exhibitions, movies, and stage shows.
		When Benny Goodman became the "King of Swing," the Lindy Hop would become known as the "Jitterbug." The term Jitterbug would eventually be applied to all styles of swing over the years and the term Lindy Hop would almost be forgotten about as the term Jitterbug took the reigns.

	Lindy Hop History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Original Lindy Hopper Frank Manning is the living source of info we have on this style.
		He has gone right back to the essence of the dance as "partnered jazz-dance." Although at one time a key player in defining a particular style of Lindy as "it," he has seen into the very core of the dance: the music, your own body, and your partner are your only guides.
		An early divergence in "Savoy Style" occurred when frisky Frank Manning debuted the first aerial move (a back-to-back flip) at a Savoy contest against teammate "Shorty" George Snowden From that ecstatic moment (and the roar of crowd approval), many teenagers began to explore acrobatic and dance possibilities.
