Lindy Hopper’s Delight 2024
By Charlotte Stace
Grab your dancing shoes and get ready for Lindy Hopper's Delight - the official Barcelona Swing Festival. Lindy Hop is a type of dance that originated within the black communities of Harlem, New York City, in the 1920s. It is a fusion of a number of dances such as jazz, tap and the Charleston and is still practised by people around the world today.
Lindy Hopper's Delight 2024 will be held at The Hoxton and will feature the dancing partners Alice & Xesc, Marie & Felix, Frida & Skye and Quinndy, as well as the band, the Enric Peidro Swingtet. What’s more, this year dancer Quinndy will be teaching an Afrofusion Class at the festival.
The festival invites anyone interested in Lindy Hop to the festival, whether to take part in dance classes, or simply enjoy the dance parties held on the Friday and Saturday nights.
