Frankie Manning's Lindy Chorus (1998)
Frankie Manning demonstrating the Lindy Chorus, the classic set of steps he is associated with, in a 1998 recording. It is both a performance and a window into his teaching approach: a short, repeating sequence that teaches rhythm, bounce and the swing feel. Watch the tempo, the use of the whole body, and how the apparent simplicity hides carefully layered rhythms. Valuable for dancers who want to hear the dance's own vocabulary directly from one of its masters.
