Lindy. Shortened name for Lindy Hop, the mother of all swing dances. The name comes from a 1927 news headline which proclaimed Lindy Hops the Atlantic with reference to Charles Lindbergh's legendary flight. The dance is between partners, one leader and one follower, typically a man and woman.
Before WWII, it spread across the globe in movies like Keep Punchinâ and A Day At the Races. Then, when WWII hit, traveling soldiers brought Lindy Hop with them all over the world. The best example of Lindy Hop on the big screen is Hellzapoppin (starts with musicians, ends in mind-blowing dancing!!).
