We want to acknowledge our deep pain and show our support to stand in solidarity for the Black Lives Matter Movement. As Lindy Hoppers (Swing Dancers) of 25 years we respect and give thanks every day for the joy of their Black Dance gifted to us and taught to us by the most generous of human beings. We listened to many stories by our teachers Frankie Manning and Norma Miller and many many more who shared their stories of racism and injustice as black performers in the 30’s, 40’s & 50’s and beyond and although I can’t ever truly imagine or understand I do stand in solidarity to make change. #blacklivesmatter
