Lindy Hop
Lindy hop evolved in the late 1920's and
was influenced by jazz, tap, and the
charleston. Some great examples of
lindy hop are in some of the early
movies such as Hellzapoppin from 1941.
In the late 1990's it became popular
again among young people after being
featured in the Gap commercials and in
the movie Swing Kids.

Unlike the classic east coast swing dance which is a six-count basic, lindy combines
both six-count and eight-count basics. It is most recognized by it's eight-count swing
out which has several variations. The lindy is also characterized by partner charleston
moves and lifts and jumps. It can be done to both slower and faster tempos.
