KL Swing celebrates wLHD2015
World Lindy Hop Day (May 26)
falls on the birthday of one of the prime creators of Lindy Hop and the most influential person in swing dance history - Frankie Manning. It is a day where Lindy Hoppers swing out to big band music in celebration of the man, the music and the dance.
This year, the global World Lindy Hop Day will be celebrated in Rome. If you are not already on the way to Rome, FEAR NOT! As part of our celebrations for World Lindy Hop Day, we thought we'd do something special. It has been in the works for some time now and it is finally happening!
