Hi there Ralph

 

Lovely to meet you last week at the Maltings!

 

I'd hugely enjoy coming back to play at one of your swing nights - do keep me in mind if you ever need a band.  I play at a lot of vintage dress up and dance nights in London, doing hot swing versions of pop hits, which always fill the floor. And I must say I like a bit of swing dancing myself from time to time..!

 

All the best

Shorty George Snowden and the Birth of the Lindy Hop

From 1929 film short After Seben. Shorty and his partner are the third couple. Note the breakaway step in which the partners separate from each other. This is the beginning of what will become the swingout, the basic step of Lindy Hop. All other swing dances come from the Lindy Hop.
