Frankie Manning is the "Martha Graham" of Swing dance. Now 84 years old, he is teaching workshops around the globe, and leading the charge during this worldwide Swing dance craze. Frankie brought air-steps into Swing dance in 1935, and created the more African, horizontal style of Lindy Hop. He choreographed the Lindy Hop scenes in the Marx Brothers' Day at the Races (1937), Helzapoppin' (1941), and other films. Erin Stevens got Frankie out of retirement to seed today's Lindy Hop revolution.
