The lindy hop scene is a great way to make friends and express your style. Anna Rogers and Ollie Parham are pictured in the centre.<\/p><\/div>\n

The lindy hop scene is taking Cardiff by storm, over 70 years after American GIs first hit British dance floors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On 24 October, Lindy Hop Cardiff\u00a0are holding a beginners drop in class at 8.30pm\u00a0in Four Bars, Dempseys, followed by social dancing, with teachers Anna Rogers and Ollie Parham offering an alternative night out.<\/p>\n

Lindy hop evolved in 1920s New York and arrived in wartime Britain with the American GIs, helping to boost morale.<\/p>\n

Lindy Hop Cardiff founder, Miss Rogers said, \u201cThis dance style is pure joy; it\u2019s totally infectious.\u00a0We\u2019ve built a reputation for being one of the friendliest dance scenes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most celebrated qualities of British people during wartime was that real sense of community, which lives on through this dance style today.\u201d<\/p>\n
