Harlem Swings! High School Lindy Hop Fall 2024

Tax deductible
Harlem Swings! High School Lindy Hop program has started, and we've raised 1/3 of our goal. We still need your help to bring Lindy hop and it's history to 900 students from under-resourced families at A. Philip Randolph High School in Harlem, the neighborhood where Lindy hop was born.

Nine hundred young people - That’s more than 10 times the students we’ve reached with the program in past years! The students will learn Lindy hop dance and history during their gym classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from professional Lindy Hop educators, directed by Remy Kouakou Kouame of the International Lindy Hop Championships.

The program starts soon: first class is Oct. 22, 2024 and runs through Nov. 26, so please give generously now!

Help us teach Harlem youth the historic roots of the dances they love today, hands-on, in the very community Lindy Hop was founded!

Harlem Swings! provides a diverse and vibrant local Lindy Hop and Swing dance scene to the community of its birth, Harlem New York. We engage with communities of color by sponsoring younger dancers and dancers of limited means with quality programming and affordable pricing both through programs in the New York City Public Schools, and community based Lindy hop dance and history learning programs. We share Harlem’s rich Lindy hop dance heritage with all ages, colors, races, cultures, genders, and orientations through festivals and dances locally and internationally.
