	Lindy Hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lindy hop combines elements of solo dancing with partner dancing in its foundational step the 'swingout', where the European partner dancing format was adapted to allow men and women to dance together (a practice usually forbidden in African dances), and yet also to improvise 'alone' without disturbing the structure and flow of the dance.
		The word "Hop" was documented as early as 1913 as pertaining to swing dancing, and the "Hop" was quoted by early Texas Tommy dancers as the basic move for their dance, a move that later was commented to be the same as the basic for the Lindy.
		Lindy Hop styles based on other types of music such as rock and roll, rockabilly or jump blues are generally a minority niche and less of an influence on the development of the dance form.

	Hollywood-Style Lindy Hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hollywood Style Lindy Hop is a fun, upbeat dance with tons of opportunities to expand the style and make your own moves.
		The Swing Out (the basic step of lindy) is danced in a position often described as someone about to sit on a stool, thereby bringing their center point of balance closer to the ground.
		Proponents of the Hollywood Style Lindy Hop often say they're able to dance faster because of the use of counterbalance techniques, and people watching often remark at the smooth nature of the style.
