The Lindy Hop, credited to Frankie Manning and others, emerged from Harlem in the 1930s as a vibrant and energetic dance form. It evolved from jazz and tap dance, influenced by the Charleston and other styles. The Lindy Hop, characterized by its athletic and improvisational nature, was integral to the swing dance scene and became popular in dance halls across the United States. Manning’s choreography and performances played a crucial role in popularizing the Lindy Hop, making it an enduring symbol of the swing era and an important part of American dance history.
