Frankie Manning and Dean Collins
A pairing of two giants from different Lindy Hop traditions: Frankie Manning from the Harlem Savoy tradition and Dean Collins from the West Coast Hollywood tradition. Seeing them in the same clip invites a comparison of the Harlem and Los Angeles approaches, with Manning's bouncy, rhythmic grace set against Collins's smooth, laid-back glide. Look for how each handles the swing-out and the footwork, and for the common feel underneath the stylistic differences.
