Around the world, dancers will soon be wishing Frankie Manning-- a living legend of the original Lindy Hop-- a happy 95th birthday. Houston dancers met up this past Saturday to create our own H-Town photo greeting courtesy of expert dance photographer David Holmes.
Frankie's 95th Birthday Celebration will take place in New York City this May 21st-25th, with over 1300 dancers from over 24 countries enjoying performances, workshops, dances, and 12+ live Swing bands. Although full-event tickets sold out within days, daily passes for certain events and venues are still available.
