It was then that they met Al Minns and first saw Frankie Manning. Lennart’s close relationship with Frankie began soon after with a deep friendship and a 35 year legacy of studying Lindy Hop from both of their teachings. The date happened to also coincide with Frankie’s birthday\, which has been an important date for all Lindy Hoppers everywhere since the resurgence. \nSPIRIT\nThe spirit of the event is to return to the approach that dancers took 35 years ago when they were first discovering Lindy Hop. Imagine what it was like to learn about Lindy Hop before YouTube\, Google\, and social media\, when you had to investigate exactly how Al Minns\, Frankie Manning\, and other original Harlem dancers moved and interpreted jazz music. Imagine what it was like when all of your learning was directly from the surviving dancers from the Savoy Ballroom or from studying old videos. \nROOTS\nThe idea is to get back to both the roots of the dance but also the roots of learning\, focusing on the Harlem and African American history and on the lessons that those Harlem dancers first shared with their curious students. These workshops will get back to the roots of the dance\, reviving some the spirit of how Lennart\, eWa\, and other dancers from the 1980s first approached learning Lindy Hop\, with deep respect for the history of the dance. \nRESPECT\nJoin us with fresh eyes\, a curious spirit\, a deep respect for the Harlem history\, and an unfaltering connection between jazz dancing and jazz music. \n  \n\n\n\n\nPRICING ONLINE & DOOR\n\n\n\n\n\nGeneral Admission\n$25 Early Bird Online Price (Includes Panel at 6:30)\n$28 ADVANCED Online (limited quantity for panel)\n$35 DOOR\n7:30 Lindy Hop Workshop & Dance\n$35.00 Early Bird price (Also includes Panel 6:30)\n$38 Online purchase (Also includes Panel 6:30)\n$45 DOOR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVIP ADMISSION\n$65.00 ADMISSION (Includes Panel 6:30)\n$85.00 WORKSHOP & ADMISSION (Includes Panel 6:30)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
