It's never too late to learn to dance or to perfect a move. Thru the centuries, dancing is considered to many to be a form of storytelling, an expression of emotions and exercise. And lets not forget that dancing has always been about having a great time.

For those that are not familiar with the “Lindy Hop”, it is an American dance derived from the African-American community of Harlem, New York City in 1928.  The dance has grown and merged with other dances from the “Swing Era” but it is basically a combination of jazz and tap that was very popular in the late 1930’s.  The “Lindy Hop” is largely a social dance but is also a competitive dance division.
