May 26th was World Lindy Hop Day! It is celebrated on this day because it is Frankie Manning's birthday! Two weeks ago I celebrated with Indy's own @naptownstomp! We danced the night away, and even did the Shim Sham with Frankie Manning himself calling! Lindy Hop is one of my all-time favorite dances, and I'm so lucky to have a scene so close to dance with and take pictures for. Here's a little preview, Naptown! Hope you enjoy! If you're interested in joining Naptown Stomp, check out their website at naptownstomp.org, and come to an open dance on Thursday nights! . . . . . #worldlindyhopday #may26 #frankiemanning #happybirthdayfrankie #harlem #shimsham #swingout #naptownstomp #indianapolis #nomeancity #vintagedancingmodernfun #justdance #stompinggrounds #swingdance #dancephotography #lindyhop #sonya7iii #85mm1.4 #borrowlenses
