Frankie Manning: Ambassador of Lindy Hop Hardcover - 2007

by Frankie Manning; Cynthia Millman

Millman and Manning trace the evolution of swing dancing from its early days in Harlem through the post-World War II period, until it was eclipsed by rock Un' roll and then disco. When swing made a comeback, Manning's 30-year hiatus ended.


From the publisher

In the early days of swing dancing, Frankie Manning stood out for his moves and his innovative routines. This is his autobiography, recalling how his first years of dancing as a teenager at Harlem's Savoy Ballroom led to his becoming chief choreographer and a lead dancer for 'Whitey's Lindy Hoppers'.
