Lindyhop is a partner dance which originated with the rise of swing jazz in the United States in the 20?s and 30?s. People danced on music by well-known artists such as Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.
Lindyhop is a very sociable dance: dancing together lies at its core and techniques of both leading and following, allowing you to dance with everyone! Lindyhop has a happy and jovial feel, as there is also room to improvise and show off one?s musicality.
