Before there was Salsa, before there was Steppin', there was Swing. Before there was Swing, there was Lindy Hop. Come meet one of the last surviving Lindy Hop pioneers of the Jazz Age, a living legend who helped to change the course of dance and music in America (and the world) forever.

Norma Miller, the Queen of Swing, is in town for a few days, stopping by from her film tour, and Chester is going to bring her down to Lindy Groove this evening, Thursday, December 21, 2006.
Norma is one of the last remaing original members of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers ("A Day at the Races", "Hellzapoppin", etc...). She is truly one of the pioneers of Lindy Hop.
Sorry for the last minute notice. If you wish to stop by and say hello to Norma, we'll be there tonight.
