Swing Dancers of London are very sad to hear that the legendary Frankie Manning passed away yesterday aged 94.

Frankie Manning was one of the pioneers of Lindy Hop, the dance that we’ve all come to love. Many of us have been honoured to have met him, many of us are very sad to not have had the chance, but we all are touched by the legacy he brought for us to enjoy.

A message from all of us Swing Dancers of London to Frankie: Your spirit lives on with all of us.
