Frankie's 95th Event Performance Saturday May 23, 2009
The Manhattan Center, NYC details: frankie95.org Yes, we are very excited to be performing on Saturday Night May 23nd at this tremendous Frankie Manning Extravaganza. see frankie95.org for details.
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
