The Lindy Hop Is An African American Dance Based On The Popular Charleston And Named For Charles Lindbergh's Atlantic Crossing In 1927. It Evolved In New York City In The 1920s And '30s And Originally Evolved With The Jazz Music Of That Time. Lindy Was A Fusion Of Many Dances That Preceded It Or Were Popular During Its Development But Is Mainly Based On Jazz Tap Breakaway And Charleston. It Is Frequently Described As A Jazz Dance And Is A Member Of The Swing Dance Family. In Its Development The Lindy Hop Combined Elements Of Both Partnered And Solo Dancing By Using The Movements And Improvisation Of Black Dances Along With The Formal Eight-Count Structure Of European Partner Dances. This Is Most Clearly Illustrated In The Lindy's Basic Step The Swingout. In This Step's Open Position Each Dancer Is Generally Connected Hand-To-Hand In Its Closed Position Men And Women Are Connected As Though In An Embrace. Revived In The 1980s By American Swedish And British Dancers The Lindy Hop Is Now Represented By Dancers And Loosely Affiliated Grass Roots Organizations Found In North America South America Europe Asia And Oceania. Born In African American Communities In Harlem New York In The United States From About 1927 Into The Early 1930s From Four Possible Sources The Breakaway The Charleston The Texas Tommy And The Hop. According To Ethel Williams Who Helped Popularize The Texas Tommy In New York In 1913 The Texas Tommy "was Like The Lindy" And The Basic Steps Were Followed By A Breakaway Identical To That Found In The Lindy. Savoy Dancer "Shorty" George Snowden Stated That "We Used To Call The Basic Step The Hop Long Before Lindbergh Did His Hop Across The Atlantic. It Had Been Around A Long Time And Some People Began To Call It The Lindbergh Hop After 1927 Although It Didn't Last. Then During The Marathon At Manhattan Casino I Got Tired Of The Same Old Steps And Cut Loose With A Breakaway..." Fox Movietone News Covered The Marathon And Took A Close-Up Of Shorty's Feet. When Asked "What Are You Doing With Your Feet " Shorty Replied "The Lindy". The Date Was June 17 1928. The First Generation Of Lindy Hop Is Popularly Associated With Dancers Such As "Shorty" George Snowden His Partner Big Bea And Leroy Stretch Jones And Little Bea. "Shorty" George And Big Bea Regularly Won Contests At The Savoy Ballroom. Their Dancing Accentuated The Difference In Size With Big Bea Towering Over Shorty. These Dancers Specialized In So-Called Floor Steps. As White People Began Going To Harlem To Watch Black Dancers According To Langston Hughes "The Lindy-Hoppers At The Savoy Even Began To Practice Acrobatic Routines And To Do Absurd Things For The Entertainment Of The Whites That Probably Never Would Have Entered Their Heads To Attempt For Their Own Effortless Amusement. Some Of The Lindy-Hoppers Had Cards Printed With Their Names On Them And Became Dance Professors Teaching The Tourists. Then Harlem Nights Became Show Nights For The Nordics." Charles Buchanan Manager Of The Savoy Paid Dancers Such As Shortly Snowden To "perform" For His Clientele. According To Snowden "When He Finally Offered To Pay Us We Went Up And Had A Ball. All We Wanted To Do Was Dance Anyway." "Air Steps" Such As The Hip To Hip Side Flip And Over The Back The Names Describe The Motion Of The Woman In The Air Began To Appear In 1936 All Of Which Were Disapproved Of By The Old Guard Such As Leon James Leroy Jones And Shorty Snowden.

Most Importantly It Is Done In Time With The Music. Air Steps Are Now Widely Associated With The Characterization Of Lindy Hop Despite Being Generally Reserved For Competition Or Performance Dancing And Not Generally Being Executed On Any Social Dance Floor.
