This surge in popularity in all forms of dance is equally mirrored in the lindy hop, with many events occurring around the country. |
Frankie Manning was one of the largest lindy hoppers that there has never been, but probably never heard none. |
It is reported that up to 25,000 exuberant lindy hoppers will be there, involved in an orgy of synchronised happiness. |

Dozens of performances were submitted, ranging from tangos to lindy Hops to night-vision hula-hooping. |
