Dear Friend of Frankie,
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN AND MORE DETAILS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED!
Lindy hop legend Frankie Manning will be turning 95 years old next May! To celebrate we are organizing the biggest and most spectacular birthday for him yet.
From May 21st - May 25th, 2009 (Memorial Day Weekend, please note the slight date change) lindy hoppers, jazz musicians, tap dancers, friends and supporters from all over the world will descend upon New York City for five days of dancing, live music, workshops, discussions, tours, competitions, performances, and much more. This will undoubtedly be the largest and most significant Lindy gathering of our time and an event you will not want to miss!
What better way to celebrate Frankie than to showcase his legacy: lindy hoppers from all over the world gathering in his hometown, the birthplace of lindy hop!
