On this day we celebrate and remember our mentor, the man who taught us and gave us Lindy Hop, Mr Frankie Manning.

World Lindy Hop Day was established to commemorate dancer and choreographer, Frankie Manning, who many people consider to be one of the main creators of this unique style of dancing. The day is celebrated on May 26 in honor of Frankie Manning's birthday.

Join us for a workshop and a dance - lets get as many swing dancers as possible in one place and celebrate with the rest of the world. 

PROGRAMME:

• Starting with a 1.5 hour teaching class sharing with you some of the awesome moves Frankie taught us when we brought him to Wellington (and New Zealand) back in 2002 (only his second time visiting NZ!)

• and followed by social dancing for a spell (couple of hours or so…)

Cost: $35 for the workshop and social dance (or $20pp for the workshop only or $30 for the social dance only). Please pre-pay into: 02-0500-0986726-00 (please use your name as a reference followed by “WLHD’).
