Hepcats!
Lexington, KY
 

Dedicated to the original swing dances of the 1930's and 40's
swing-era:
Lindy Hop, Balboa
& Collegiate Shag
,
and the great swing music of that era!

Celebrating 11 years of teaching and promoting the best in all things swing dance!

Your chance to learn the most famous
Lindy Hop line dance of all.....the
Big Apple!

 The Big Apple was a national sensation in the 1930's and early 40's and has some very cool and challenging moves and footwork.  The exact origin of the dance is unclear, but it probably originated in the "ring shout" activities associated with religious observances.

The Big Apple is a dance that every swing dancer should have in their repertoire!

 
Note:  a lot of the footwork, moves and patterns for the Big Apple can be used on the social dance floor.  So bring your dancing shoes and be prepared for some cool, new stuff!
