This is how we celebrated Frankie Manning Birthday on 26th May 2021 which is also the day of World Lindyhop Day celebration around the world 🌍🌍🌍 many people still don't understand the Swing Dance and Lindyhop in Uganda 🇺🇬 but am really so happy, how these children are inspiring, motivating and encouraging a lot of people to pick up interest on them and also many dance groups now inviting us to teach them. Now we need to keep the legacy of what Frankie Manning left to us to share it around the world. Much appreciation to @frankiemanningfoundation for keeping the spirit of supporting young generations who are building their careers through Lindyhop to come true always.

World Lindy Hop Day honors all the dancers and musicians who contributed to the creation, development, continuation, and proliferation of this vital African American dance, which was born and bred in Harlem, NY. Although Frankie passed away in 2009, we celebrate World Lindy Hop Day on his birthday because he is revered for his vital role in the history of swing dancing and his spirit lives on in the hearts and feet of swing dancers around the world. Today, let's celebrate Frankie and all those who influenced Lindy Hop! #FrankieManning #lindyhop #FrankieMonth #FrankieMonth #FrankieManningFoundation #happybirthdayfrankie #lindyhop #swing #dance #jazz #DanceWithFrankie #SwingDanceUganda #ugandaswingkids (at Aero beach, Entebbe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPaCP-DrdgL/?utm_medium=tumblr
