Three dancers: the woman was good, one of the men not, but the other man blew me away. Not only was he skilled, but with his tall slender figure, wasp waist, and dark curls, he looked as if he had leapt straight off a Minoan fresco from 1500 BCE in the nearby archaeological museum (Fig.

  • Lindy Hop DANCE FLOOR) Hop (As Well As Other Types of Swing Dance)
    Lindy Hop News Worldwide Volume 3 Issue 1 - January 1996 The Hoppin Birthday Party But once there, what a fabulous venue: wooden floor, high ceiling, gallery, life-size model of Elvis the Pelvis. Not to mention three of the best swing DJs around - Tim's Jumpin' Jive, Vernon'sSwingmatism and, of course, Ronnie Slide. What more could a girl want? Before long the night was jumping. The dance floor was a blur of frenzied arms and legs, as uninhibited couple after uninhibited couple swung out to the non-stop sounds. Highlight of the evening was an impromptu jam session by jazz dancer Alex George and the inimitable Cookie, aka Angela Andrews. I had no idea there could be so much 'Lindy' in 'Latin'! We were still rompin' at midnight. My poor feet didn't know what had hit them. The climax of the evening came with the raf­ fle, that I unfortunately did not win, and the ceremonial cutting of the Hoppin' birthday cake, baked by Cookie's mother. One consolation for all those of you that missed out on all this fun is that, as I write this, there are only 347 days until the next one! Ed note: Our thanks to all who worked so hard to make this event happen - the Hoppin' staff( and Cookie's mom')- and to our out-of­ t own attendees, who read about it in Hoppin'!
