What is World Lindy Hop Day
Starting 26 May 2013 at Frankie 100, World Lindy Hop Day was created to invite Lindy Hoppers around the world to celebrate this dance! Every year, the whole month of May becomes Frankie Month, giving swing communities around the world an excuse to eat cake and party :)
Who is Frankie Manning
Frankie grew up dancing in the Savoy Ballroom in the 30s. He was one of the most creative and dynamic dancers and has been credited with inventing many of the iconic Lindy steps including the very first airstep! Frankie was instrumental in passing on knowledge of the swing era to modern dancers in the 80s and 90s. Together with other original Savoy dancers like Al Minns, Norma Miller, Barbara Billups and Sugar Sullivan, Frankie inspired a whole new generation of dancers to learn and love Lindy Hop.
The Stumbling Swingout
The Stumbling Swingout is Bangkok's most prominent swing jazz band. A massive 9-piece combo founded by Lindy Hop dancers, they are not just musicians - they are entertainers. Starting out playing for the local swing dance community, their large, upbeat sound and playful stage presence has proven to have a universal appeal, garnering a following amongst audiences from all walks of life. Their mission is to engage with listeners and dancers, and to create awareness of music in the swing era, featuring music from Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Count Basie to name a few. With a mix of classic swing tunes and modern arrangements, The Stumbling Swingout will get any crowd on their feet and dancing, bringing the swing to any event!
The Hot Shots
We are excited to take classes and dance with Patrik, Lizette, Sakarias and Elice, from The Hot Shots in Sweden! One of the most active Lindy Hop companies in the world for the last 35 years, these dancers follow the tradition of studying the roots and African American culture of this dance. Working with Al Minns and Frankie from the start set them on the mission to preserve and acknowledge the originators and creators of Lindy Hop. While the members of the group have changed over time, their dedication to respect the rhythms of Harlem hasn't changed.
