	The Lindy Circle - Lindy Hop History
		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.
		Whitey's Lindy Hoppers never would have thought that their dance would be spread across the world via the internet, videos, workshops and classes.

	The Lindy Circle - Big Apple History
		Whitey described the dance to his lead dancer Frankie Manning, asking him to create a Big Apple piece for their group.
		The version that Frankie created for Whitey's Lindy Hoppers was used in the movies and has thus been preserved for all to see.
		This film features many of the original Whitey's Lindy Hoppers and served as a usefull reference point for later dance historians trying to rediscover the roots of the dance.

	Melbourne: Frankie and his Partners
		During the time of Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers, Frankie also regularly partnered Willa Mae Ricker, who was well known for her amazing physical strength and passion to dance.
		Although Willa Mae and her husband, Lindy Hopper Billy Ricker, were high school sweethearts and enjoyed a long and healthy marriage, they rarely danced together professionally.
		Herbert "Whitey" White is credited with bringing Norma to fame, inviting her to join Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers, after watching her defeat his dancers in a savoy contest.

	The JIVING LINDY HOPPERS tel: (0) or (0044) 20 8992 8128 email: info@jivinglindyhoppers.com
		The Jiving Lindy Hoppers considers itself to be only the latest in a long link of enthusiasts who have passed on this dance form to others since it first came to life.
		A third generation emerged in the early 1950's at the Savoy Ballroom who refused to accept the story being pushed at that time that no one was interested in "Swing." They proved it wrong by restoring, and some people say even surpassing the standards of dance set by the previous generation.
		At the beginning of this period opportunities to learn were few and far between, and when they did take place they were not like current formats in that few of the teachers "counted" and seldom broke down the steps, but expected students to learn more by imitating the real thing.

	Dancer History Archives by StreetSwing - Whitey's Lindy Hoppers - Main Page
		The Hoppers would go on to dominate the Lindy Hop scene in contests and exhibition's for quite a few years to come with even Shorty George working with them from time to time.
		The Lindy hoppers incorporated the Flash Acts or "Acrobatics" called Air-Steps into many of their routines.
		There are some negative stories about Whitey and his 'Strongmen' and the ethics he used to get dancers to dance on his team from intimidation to strong arming and even murder among rival "Gangs," how true these stories are today are anyone's guess (but there are a few newspaper pieces that lend some credence).

	World Lindy Hop Championship Debate
		Comparing to these organisations the purpose of the WLHF was: To encourage recognition of Lindy Hop as a world-class, international performance and social dance, to honour its roots in improvisational Jazz, and African-American dance traditions, and to foster cooperation among all participants in its growth and evolution.
		In his concerned cry to the Lindy public, Ryan alleges that non "true Lindy hoppers" with the help of the WRRC are taking over the Lindy community and are going to standardize the dance.
		Lindy Hop only needs our help in that, as leaders of the dance community, we teach well, pass on the spirit of the dance, and make sure there is always a comfortable place for people to swing out.

	Whitey's Lindy Hoppers - The Greatest!
		An African-American man known as "Whitey" because of the streak of white in his hair, he was a former boxer who became a bouncer at the Savoy Ballroom.
		Whitey did quite a juggling act; his dancers might be simultaneously performing at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, Radio City Music Hall in New York, a Broadway show and an upcoming Hollywood film.
		Whitey, who got to know the young dancers well, was able to hand pick exciting dancers who were also socially adept and reliable.

	Dance Today! - February 2003
		Lindy Hop (Lindy for short) came of age about the time that Charles Lindbergh made his famous solo flight or hop across the Atlantic to France in 1927.
		It was the new and creative Lindy Hop, with lots of close body contact, improvisation and suggestive movements and the Jitterbugs that danced it that ruled the dance floor.
		Lindy Hoppers don’t require alcoholic or other stimulants — dancing gives them their high.

	World Lindy Hop Championship Debate
		Lindy Hop is considered by the dancers to be a grass-roots dance which has no connection with the false and stylised world of Ballroom dancing.
		It will be one of the best presentations of Lindy Hop.I never understood why people join a US Swing Open or any other events where the competitors have to pay for their tickets, even for the nights they are not there.
		For Lindy Hop to be true to its history, even reinstated from the 1930's to the 1990's, it will change and evolve according to the dancers who love it and dance it.

		Lindy hop in France was basically introduced by Franck Balbin, a guy from Lyon who spent his time and energy to make his friends discover the dance...
		Rob and I--and I'm sure Tom also--kinda steered her toward focusing on Lindy, because among "swing dances," we believe it is the one most closely associated with swing ("big band") music, AND the one with the most fascination for the youngest dancers.
		(Conversely, Whiteys Lindy Hoppers Cut Out steps in order to dance fast.) I don't think Dean was as fast at Lindy as Lenny Smith or Lou Southern But it was his way of interpreting the music that made him one of the many greatest.

		East Coast Swing evolved from Lindy as a more sophisticated and structured style involving a 6 count basic like you learned.
		I`ve fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time with some of the old timers like Norma Miller from the original "Whiteys Lindy Hoppers".
		It`s interesting to note, as she did, that the Lindy basic phrases, being 8 beats of music, it directly overlays the 8 beat mini- phrases in the Music.

		it means that (as John pointed out) the white dancers attempted to codify the dance; writing down dance figures on paper whereas the original Lindy dancers just danced what they felt and had more spontaneous, random creativity.
		In looking for stuff on the internet there seem to be a number of dances similiar to what we learned, that is Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Jive and the East/West coast swings.
