Swing Dancing Video

               Swing Dancing Video by Manny

    On the last day of February, we watched this video about Frankie Manning. He was a very famous African-American swing dancer. Back then in the 1930s and 40s, swing dancing was a way for a life's passion for some people. Some people made a living about it. The other name for it the Lindy Hop.
    The video was very fun to watch. WE all had a knowledge for swing dancing back then once it was all finished. When we finished watching it, I was very happy to see the life of Frankie Manning and how successful he was. On one of his late birthdays, he would dance with 85 girls on his 85th birthday. Frankie danced and had idols, and look where it got him:One of the best swing dancers in the world. The video was inspirational, and we all loved it. Frankie Manning is a great person. I'm glad we watched the video.
