Day Out at Esplanade - Daytime Jam

Aerials From Jitterbugs Swingapore

Contrary to common perception, Lindy Hop is not all about `kungfu' flying. However, it is these aerials, as they are called, that are the most pleasing to the crowd.

It was not their turn to perform. Nevertheless, Sinclair and Sing gave the crowd an exciting show.

And what’s this?

<< A somersault actually. Sorry, I should have taken the photo from the other direction. Will try again the next time.

"Hey! This step looks simple. I can do it too!", you say. V

 

You know the crowd were enthralled when you hear all the 'ooh' and 'wow'! But don’t forget to tell your kids, "Don't try these at home". Don’t try them outside the home either! But that's not all. There are two more misconceptions about Lindy Hop we have not dispelled.
