Question

A Timeless Dance

A few years ago, a popular clothing store ran TV ads with people doing some amazing dancing. The dancers leaped high in the air and did flips over each other's backs. They were doing the Lindy Hop. The Lindy Hop has a long and interesting history.


The Lindy Hop started in 1926 at the Savoy Ballroom in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. It's a type of swing dance that grew from the earlier swing dances, the Breakaway and the Charleston. It's fast, fun, and full of spectacular moves. The Breakaway was renamed the Lindy Hop in 1927 in honor of Charles Lindbergh's famous flight across the Atlantic Ocean.


As Lindy Hoppers tried to outperform each other, they invented new moves. In fact, the dance was banned from the main dance floor at the Savoy because the dancing took up too much space. But soon everyone wanted to dance the Lindy, so the owners of the club moved it to the main dance floor. The dance took off, and the famous back-to-back move was invented in which the woman flips over the man's back.


After World War II (1939–1945), jazz music developed from swing into bebop that people no longer danced to. But in the 1980s, the Lindy Hop had a revival. Now there are Lindy Hop dance clubs in many cities in the United States and Europe.
