This is a video of Jenny and Hack showing off their Lindy Hop moves. The Lindy Hop is a type of Swing Dance that evolved during the late 1920's. The Lindy Hop is based mostly on the Charleston and the Texas Tommy. The name of the dance was originally the Lindbergh Hop after Charles Lindbergh and his famous "hop" across the Atlantic. The name Lindy was coined by a dancer at the Savoy Ballroom, "Shorty" George Snowden in 1928. The basic step of Lindy involves a revolving motion between the two partners. Two steps are taken forward and then a triple step is taken while reversing to face the other direction. This "step, step, triple step" is continued in a circular motion, alternating open and closed position. The Lindy Hop is taught at Swing Bums lessons on Fridays from 5 PM to 6 PM.
