Golden Gate Lindy Exchange

In 1998, dancers from Chicago made the trek to the San Francisco Bay Area, sparking a global movement in "traveling for the dance" with the first recorded lindy hop exchange. We are excited to announce a revival and reimagination of this movement by celebrating the unique signatures of each Bay Area dance community.
