Ever wanted to Learn Partner Dancing in Mumbai? Give Lindy Hop a shot with Slingshot Swing!
Ever wanted to Learn Partner Dancing in Mumbai? Give Lindy Hop a shot with Slingshot Swing!
Lindy Hop dance classes in Mumbai – A crowded theatre watches intently as a romantic comedy plays. As they flirt with each other, the two lead actors are locked in a playful dance to the tunes of a small band playing in the street. Many in the audience probably imagine themselves in one or the other actors’ shoes, if just for a moment. If you’ve ever been one of those audience members, you’ve…

It was of pleasure to share this short moment with dancers of Lira and hope to see you again and again. Gulu is our next stop then we shall share with dancers there more about #lindyhop and #swingdance with it's history and values that I have learned during my time in Europe. I decided to travel with some of my students because I need them to take my foots of sharing #Lindyhop and #swingdance in Uganda and others of Africa 🌍. @blacklindyhf thanks so much for standing with us the Swing Dance Uganda to keep the culture alive and moving around the world. #lindyhop #lindyhoplife #lindyhopdance #dance #swingmusic #swingjazz #swingdance #1920s #1940s #blacklindyhoppersfund #blhf #swingdanceuganda #ugandaswingkids #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge (at Lira, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clrk8LxLFl-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"I never taught people where to step on '2', because when I learned how to dance there was no '2'. We just danced to the music." ~ Frankie Manning Why am relating it to the Frankie Manning quotes about is that one of my students from Lira asked me some questions like, "I should tell them about the music of swing dance." "What is Swing and Lindyhop?" So now am requesting people are well informed with these knowledge of Swing music 🎶 so that we can have a zoom class with my students. We are so happy that now, the dancers in Lira District are so much interested in #Lindyhop and #Swingdance. But we have questions here and I need some help with them. Among these communities, girls are really few represented and now what should be done to encourage more girls to start coping up with dancing like Lindyhop in Uganda 🇺🇬 because now during my classes I do have 17 students but only three are girls and the rest are boys. Much appreciations to @blacklindyhf for standing up with me to spread #Lindyhop and #swingdance to rural areas of Uganda now. @frankiemanningfoundation @pacificswingdance @frankie_manning_radio_show_ @bad_ass_jazz_festival @sunnysideswingstudio @collectivevoicesforchange @ysbdnyc @roserswing @lindyhopchamps @lindyhopdubai @lindyhopsaarbruecken @lindyhoprevolution @herrangdancecamp @kaninikiiru @tenaarmstrong @swinginwithsammy @sing_lim @ryan_francois_jazz #lindyhopperslife #lindyhop #lindy #lindyhopping #Lindyhop #lindyfocus #lindyhopdance #swing #swingdance #swingdancelife #swingdancefestival #swingaroundtheworld #1920s #1930s #solojazzmoves #SoloJazz #solocharleston #solotraveler #solojazzpower #lira #liracommunity #liradance #SwingDanceUganda #Ugandaswingkids #instructorokurutgeorge #yoga #acroyoga #OkurutGeorge (at Lira, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cljpe0irtkA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Second day of the workshop in Lira. Swing dance is a group of social dances that developed with the swing style of jazz music in the 1920s–1940s, with the origins of each dance predating the popular "swing era". Hundreds of styles of swing dancing were developed; those that have survived beyond that era include Lindy Hop, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, and Charleston. Today, the best-known of these dances is the Lindy Hop, which originated in Harlem in the early 1930s. While the majority of swing dances began in African American communities as vernacular African American dances, some influenced swing-era dances, like Balboa, developed outside of these communities. "Copied from wikipedia" We are really so excited to introduce Lindyhop and Swing dance to dancers of Lira District. As we keep the love and legacy of @frankiemanningfoundation to spread it throughout the world. Thanks so much @blacklindyhf for supporting this project so that more African dancers can be inspired and encouraged into the dance. We are still calling for sponsors to come in because we still have more districts to reach out to dancers, who are so much interested as we need keep the legacy of #Frankie Manning and other dancers who kept these dance alive. I will be sharing more videos of these dancers on how they are so much interested in dance and how passionate, they are to keep the love of Lindyhop and Swing dance in Northern Uganda 🇺🇬 . @blacklindyhf @frankiemanningfoundation @shotovercanyonswing @lindsayellyn @lindyhopchamps Happy swing lindy-hop and festival.

It was a great moment to be hosted at @Wan Luo Tv to talk about #Swing Dance growth in Uganda 🇺🇬 now and am excited that the mainstream media they have started to see the work, we do in different communities of Uganda 🇺🇬 This is the month we celebrate the life of #Frankie Manning as we prepare for his birthday on 26th May and his legacy which he left to us to keep it alive now. I and Yoahel Mark Ray today danced #Shimsham without my music and some of Lindyhop just because of happiness to be one of the dancers keeping the legacy alive now. If you would love to support us to celebrate his day in style just reach out to us and also if you enjoy our videos always. @frankiemanningfoundation @usmissionuganda @swingconnects @swingtv_tr @the_swing_project @swingoutstudiolp @blacklindyhf @lindyfest @tenaarmstrong @lindyhopchamps @lindyhop_inspiration @lindyplus.mex @inswingwetrust @menorcalindyhop @lindyholidaydancecamp @lindyhoprevolution @lindy_hop_photography @lindyhopmedellin @lindyupdijon #1920s #1930s #1920sjazz #lindyhopperslife #lindyhopper #lindyhoplife #lindyfocus #lindyhopdance #lindyhopdance #swingdancers #swingdancer #swingdancelessons #swingdancefestival #charlestonlife #charlestonlife #solojazz #solojazzpower #solojazzmoves #WanLuoTv #sharing #SwingDanceUganda (at New Vision Group) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdrINtWKduj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2 - Service Whatever purpose you came here for, you must not think it was for yourself alone. That’s looking at it too narrowly. If you think it was for the common good, you will serve others. When you die, you will be smiling while others will be crying when they remember how you served them selflessly. During out get together camp at @Aliciakanga home with children as I shared with them #yoga and #SoloJazz dance, it was a lovely experience for the children because they are left with few days back to school now. Next week children are going back to school but am here to stand with you to support them with anything as they are getting back to school. #lindyhopperslife #lifestyle #Lindyhop #lindyhoplife #lindyfocus #lindyhoplife #lindyhopdance #lindyhopdance #lindyhoppers #swingdancer #swingdancelessons #swinging #uganda🇺🇬 #SwingDanceUganda (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdFlmADq3B1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was of pleasure to have a zoom chat with @remy2kouadjo who is the one handling the Youth Program at @lindyhopchamps has he shared a lot with children and we had Q & A's during the chat to them understand more about #lindyhop and #SwingDance with a bit of the history so now, we can't wait to see these collaboration and sharing brings the world together. This is what we call the power of Dance. Many children have picked interest on this year's competition as solo's and others as a team too. Thanks so much @lindyhopchamps and the entire team for always putting up these lovely event for Lindyhoppers and Swing dancers to come together and share the love of dance.
