Born in the midst of the Great Depression on Lenox Ave., the Lindy Hop has struggled to survive in the place where it all began.

The Harlem Swing Dance Society is the only organization in Harlem that teaches the Lindy Hop. Members Deborah Pouge and Willis Reagan enjoy keeping the Lindy Hop history alive.
