Frankie Manning (1914–2009) was one of the original founders of Lindy Hop. He created this classic Shim Sham for Swing dancers, based on a tap-dance routine choreographed by Leonard Reed and Willie Bryant in 1928.
Frankie strongly believed that Lindy Hop should be shared, and so we'd love you to come and enjoy this dance with us.
Everyone welcome!
