Lindy Hopper's Delight

Expand

A fusion of multiple styles, including jazz, tap, breakaway and the Charleston, the Lindy hop originated in Harlem, New York City in 1928. It was first practised amongst the African American community and spread to mainstream dance circles through performance, competitions and film. Though it reached the peak of its popularity during the swing era of the late Thirties and early Forties, the genre has seen a revival in the last decade and still has a cult following today. Lindy Hopper's Delight is a festival dedicated to bringing some of the best Lindy hop instructors to Barcelona for a series of classes and competitions that will have participants bopping all night long. With an award for the best couple and a social dancing competition, the event caters for intermediate to experienced dancers. Dust off your best vintage frock and join the action.
