Frankie Manning leading the Shim Sham during a Hop to the Beat Dance at the Cambridge Friends School in 2005. |
The special Swing & Soul night at Uptown Swing was super fun! Racky Thomas provided excellent music, we danced the Electric Slide to Soul music, and the room was filled with happy faces. Thanks for the wonderful feedback! We’ll have to do it again.
This May, Lindy Hoppers around the world will be celebrating Frankie Manning’s 100th birthday. Uptown Swing will be hosting a local celebration on May 10th and welcome all dancers to join in!
All profits from the dance will go to the Frankie Manning Foundation.
Details to come!
