ONE of the COOLEST routines ever is the Mama Stew! The Mama Stew routine comes from the early days of swing where it was used by Whitey’s lindy hoppers as a warm up. As a former hostess of the famous Savoy Ball room, Louise – Mama Lu – Parks was instrumental in keeping lindy hop alive after the closure of the Savoy. She kept the Harvest Moon Ball going and performed lindy for decades to come. Further Info klick here!
We are a bit early! Still, we want to celebrate International Lindy Hop Day with you! 23rd of May, we celebrate the joyest dances of all, Swing Dance (Lindy Hop is part of Swing)! FYI the official day is the 26th, but the Friday is more fun!
We are super happy to have the privilege to dance on the music by De Jong INC!
Swing dance is a unifying community dance for all people from different backgrounds and it goes along with the rich and hard Afro-American history. 26th of May refers to the birthday of one of the biggest investors in this dance, Frankie Manning. Nowadays, this dance forms a universal language between dancers and folks really love to travel so that they can explore the dance in local communities.
Wanna work-out, socialize and have fun? Try Lindy Hop! In 3,5 hours (with breaks) we will teach you the basics of Lindy Hop and some fun moves which will get you dancing in no time.
The perfect gift, dancing together.
