Hi. This page dedicated to the dance we call the Lindy Hop and the musicians who play that fine music we like to dance to....oh yeah...


Wanna listen to some music while you look around?

Well, this site continues to evolve. I am not even sure I know where it is going. Lately my focus has been to compile a listing of local (Seattle-area) bands and where and when they are playing. Well, where and when they are playing that is likely to have dancing, anyway. I do intend to get some information posted on the (very fine) dance soon, but there is plenty of info out there on the web about the Lindy itself. There isn't so much about the bands. So... It is worth checking out the Swing Band Shrine of Appreciation now, especially if you are in the Seattle area. I'll put more diverse information up as I have the time, but for now, what I have is basically a calendar of Seattle swing dancing with live bands. I do have a What's New page that lists all new additions so you won't miss a single thing!!!

By the way, if anyone out there knows who the girl in this picture of Frankie Manning is, please email me. Maybe Freda Washington? I'm not sure.
