Frankie Manning with the Big Apple Dancers.

It is with a heavy heart that we inform you of the passing of our wonderful friend. Mr. Frankie Manning passed away peacefully early this morning at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York from complications of pneumonia. As many of you know, we would not be where we are today without his talent, creativity, inspiration and SMILE!

Whitey's Lindy Hoppers

I've tried to come up with some rules of dance for myself and for my students. I'm looking for universal truths. Things that are hard to argue against. But of course...feel free :-)

Lindy Hoppers on Dancing with the Stars

My wife Nikki and I had the fun and stressful experience of performing lindy hop on Dancing with the Stars in '07. We danced to a rock song "Dance Dance" by Fallout Boy. Like always, the producers of the show like to showcase the dancing to contemporary music.
