Lindy Hop Dance


This is a video of two people doing the Lindy Hop, 
a style of dance that developed during the
Harlem Renaissance. 
Lindy Hop is another kind of a swing dance. 

Lindy Hop is based on other dance styles called
the Charleston, breakaway, jazz,  and tap.  
Lindy Hop was developed in the 1920's and 1930's with 
the jazz music of Harlem. The Lindy Hop was popular
during the 1930's. It was also popular in the Clubs.
White Audience enjoyed seeing the Lindy Hop.

I chose Lindy Hop because in my dance class, 
the teachers choreographed a dance based 
on the Lindy Hop and Charleston. I really liked
the style of dance, and when i saw this video
i enjoyed how the dancers were energetic.
I was able to see the energy through out the whole
video and it kept me entertained. I also like the Lindy Hop
because all the moves are unexpected.

  1. I like how you chose something that you have personal experience with because you can relate to it better. Good job! :)
