	Swing Dance Virginia-Lindy Hop & Origins
		Social dances (and the lindy was and is a social dance) perform many functions: as an artistic medium for personal expression to music, as a means for commentary on other people and policitical institutions, and as a means to demonstrate one's coordination, musical sense, and strength.
		The Lindy dance used patterns that often broke down into sets of six or eight beats, with kicks and footwork that were only limited by the dancer's imagination and willingness to practice.
		Dance halls in the 1920's and early 30's had their resident dancers--the Savoy Ballroom dancers occupying the Cats' Corner and the like--and when the fast Lindy music came on, it was not unusual for many people to move aside so that these young people could show their stuff.

	_So, what is Lindy Hop, Anyway?_
		Lindy Hop is mostly a state of mind -- it starts when you have fantasies about being Fred (or Ginger) and living in a time when everything was elegant and every major trauma turns out to be a simple misunderstanding.
		It was danced to music (principally Swing) in fast duple meter ("8 to the bar") and was characterized especially by "breakaways" in which partners in a couple separated and improvised steps individually.
		The pants were ideal for performing the kicks and jumps involved in Lindy Hop, and the fashion trend evolved to feature extremes in both dimension and color.
