Frankie Manning
"Legendary lindy hopper Mr. Frankie Manning passed away peacefully on Monday April 27, 2009. Frankie was our ambassador of Lindy Hop. In the most extraordinary and entertaining of ways, he set the standard for this dance, showcasing extraordinary creativity and innovation in the Lindy Hop. Later in his life he returned from retirement to teach this dance to endless enthusiastic crowds sometimes hundreds at a time. He shared his wonderful joy for this dance as well as for the big band music that accompanied it and made us all smile and laugh while doing so. I include myself in his group of passionate followers and students who learned from him, always in awe of his remarkable gift of dance. His spirit lives in all the Lindy Hoppers around the globe now."
Paolo "P Lindy" Lanna 12:54pm April 30, 2009




Paolo and Maggie at the Swing Remix Party at the JCC in NYC. And I would like to give special credits to Dax Hock for his creative and unique translation of the Spirit Moves Trankey doo which inspired me to learn this and perform it.


And have you seen this dance off yet?

Personal Note:
This year I’m celebrating 10 years of competitions and performances in the Lindy World. So from Oct 2008 – Oct 2009 I will be competing a little bit again and fashioning a World Tour with various partners. See the new Videos section for some classic clips from my tours, competitions, and workshops, including some Bloopers too!

Ciao, P
