Frankie Manning and Erin Stevens: Lindy Level 1
A 1995 teaching video in which Frankie Manning and Erin Stevens walk beginners through Savoy-style Lindy Hop: the basic rhythms, footwork and styling, plus six starter moves. The production is very much of its decade, but the teaching is gold, and it is a rare chance to learn the basics from one of the original Savoy dancers. Watch how relaxed Frankie stays, how he bounces with the music and how much he smiles. Then find a beginners' class near you and try it with a partner.
