Lindy Hop is a lively and energetic dance that originated in the African American communities of Harlem, New York City, during the late 1920s and early 1930s. It combines elements of jazz, tap, and breakaway dancing, characterized by its swinging movements and improvisational style. The dance is typically performed to swing music, which features a strong rhythm and upbeat tempo. The name "Lindy Hop" is believed to be inspired by the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh, who completed the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight in 1927. Dancers often perform in pairs, with one partner leading and the other following, allowing for creative expression and interaction. Today, Lindy Hop remains popular worldwide, celebrated for its joyful spirit and connection to the rich history of jazz music.
