[If you are anything like me, the Lindy Hop conjures vague images of a silly dance they used to do in the Roaring 20s (1920s, that is). I came across this, not sure where, but it widened my eyes over my morning coffee. If you can make it through this video without smiling, you are in sad need of professional care. I’m going to start trying some of these moves with SB Sandy. SB SM]

from Wikipedia: The Lindy Hop is an American dance which was born in the African-American communities of Harlem, New York City, in 1928 and has evolved since then. It was very popular during the swing era of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Lindy is a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway, and Charleston. It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family.
