May 24: Frankie Manning's Birthday Celebration

FRANKIE MANNING

May is the month when we celebrate the birthday of one of the most important figures in Lindy Hop history -- Frankie Manning. The dance wouldn't exist the way we enjoy it today without his talent, enthusiasm, and zest for life! Join us for that special celebration and see for yourself how his presence affected those who were lucky to know him.
