Lindy Hop sometimes called Jitterbug is the original 1930's and 1940's partner dance.
Dancing to big band jazz music, swing preceded the rock and roll jive of the 1950's.
Swing dancing is currently enjoying a huge world revival.
Jitterbugs is the foremost club for dancing lindy and jive in London. Club Nights are
held every Wednesday near Marble Arch, in the heart of Central London, at STERN HALL (West London Synagogue), 33 Seymour Place, W1H 5AU.
Lindy Hop lessons are a big feature of Jitterbugs and Wednesday nights start with a
Beginners lesson at 7.00 - 7.45pm. The Intermediate lesson is from 7.45
- 8.30pm and then social dancing continues until 10.30pm to great music
played by resident and guest DJs. The best swing bands play live - generally - on the first Wednesday of the month.
