Discover the History of Lindy Hop
The Lindy Hop is an American dance which was born in the African-American communities of Harlem, New York City, in the 1920s and ’30s and originally evolved with the jazz music of that time.

It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family.
