Lindy Hop comes to Tetbury. Learn this iconic Swing Dance.
The Lindy Hop is an fun partner dance that is said to have been invented in The Savoy Ballroom, Harlem, New York, in the 1920’s and 1930’s. It’s danced to swing music from Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Artie Shaw and Duke Ellington to name a few.
It was the American GI soldiers who bought Lindy Hop to Britain in the early 1940’s. It’s the daddy of all Swing Dances. It’s fun, its cool and you get fit at the same time.
