That Video was made at the Herrang Dance Camp in Herrang, Sweden last summer. Every year the best Lindy Hoppers in the world go there for a couple of weeks of lessons and fun. I never made it. Herrang is a little village in Sweden so far out in the boonies that I did not want to put up with the accommodations. The village bird is the mosquito.

I use the one move in that video I can do at my age. The strut at about 40 seconds with his partner behind him.

Here is a short piece from a video made last summer about Frankie Manning, who died two weeks ago just short of his 95th birthday. He is shown dancing at Herrang last summer. I know most of the people in the clip who are talking about him. Frankie Manning-Herrang Dance camp There is a four day celebration of his 95th birthday going on in New York City this week, even though he is gone. About 2000 people attending with a final dance at the Roseland Ballroom.
