What is Lindy Hop? In short, Lindy Hop is one of the original swing dances from the swing era of the 1930s-40s. Born in Harlem, New York, it is an African-American vernacular dance style that emphasizes improvisation and social dancing. Today, it is danced all over the world, with many major cities having Lindy Hop scenes and hosting Lindy Hop festivals throughout the year. If you like the dance, we also have weekly classes in Lindy Hop and Balboa later in the semester.https://ntnuidans.no/dans/1/4
