In the early days of swing dancing, Frankie Manning stood out for his moves and his innovative routines; he created the "air step" in the Lindy hop, a dance that took the U.S. and then the world by storm. In this fascinating autobiography, choreographer and Tony Award winner (Black and Blue) Frankie Manning recalls how his first years of dancing as a teenager at Harlem's Savoy Ballroom led to his becoming chief choreographer and a lead dancer for "Whitey's Lindy Hoppers," a group that appeared on Broadway, in Hollywood musicals, and on stages around the globe. Manning brings the Swing Era vividly back to life with his recollections of crowded ballrooms and of Lindy hoppers trying to outdo each other in spectacular performances. His memories of the many headliners and film stars, as well as uncelebrated dancers with whom he shared the stage, create a unique portrait of an era in which African American performers enjoyed the spotlight, if not a star's prerogatives and salary. With collaborator Cynthia Millman, Manning traces the evolution of swing dancing from its early days in Harlem through the post-World War II period, until it was eclipsed by rock 'n' roll and then disco. When swing made a comeback, Manning's 30-year hiatus ended. He has been performing, choreographing, and teaching ever since.

Frankie Manning fut l'un des pionniers du lindy hop (danse ancêtre d rock que nous connaissons aujourd'hui) dans les années 1930 et 194 et, durant ses années de tournée avec la troupe des Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, il participa à la popularisation de la danse swing dans le mondé entier. Cet ouvrage est le résultat d'un ensemble d'interview$ approfondies que Cynthia R. Millman, auteur dans le domaine de la danse et elle-même danseuse de swing, a conduites auprès de Frankie Manning afin de retracer d'une manière vivante toute la carrière de ce dernier ; Frankie devint une vedette dans le populaire Savoy Ballroom de Harle avec son style unique mêlant vitesse, interprétation musicale et un position de corps proche des coureurs de sprint. Dans une compétition de danse, c'est lui qui étonna la nombreuse assistance en réalisant I toute première acrobatie de lindy hop dans laquelle le danseur envoi littéralement sa danseuse en l'air. Plus tard, Frankie Manning participa aux tournées des plus grands du jazz comme Duke Ellington et Count Basie. Il a en outre dansé dans plusieurs films dont " Helizapoppin' " réalisé par H. C. Potter et dans une scène coupée au montage de " Everybody Sing " avec Judy Garland... Après une longue pause dans son activité de danseur, il devint consultant pour " Malcolm X ", le film de Spike Lee et enseigna à une nouvelle génération de danseurs dans le cadre du renouveau de la danse swing des années 80 et 90. Le récit à la première personne capture toute l'animation de la vie de Frankie, son humour et son charme. Contrastant avec l'aisance et le charisme de Frankie Manning, le formalisme de notes historiques jalonne le texte principal sous la forme de courts entractes. Ces mémoires colorées de l'un des inventeurs et vedette du lindy hop sont incontournables pour les amoureux de la danse, du jazz et de l'histoire afro-américaine.

A member of what Peter Newman christened the "Munitions and Supply Gang" in World War II Ottawa, Covert was a protégé of the legendary minister of everything, C.D. Howe, for whom he later helped create the post of chancellor of Dalhousie University. Appointed an officer of the Order of Canada in 1982, Covert's citation noted that he had "given generously of his counsel and leadership to universities, hospitals and charitable organizations" - an understatement typical of the man, who believed that successful work was its own best reward.

With all things vintage enjoying a boom worldwide, swing dancing has well and truly swung back into fashion. From vintage festivals and tea dances to weekend socials and hundreds of weekly classes held around the world, multiple forms of the dance that was created in 1930s Harlem by Frankie Manning are growing ever more popular. Swing Dance explores the vibrant contemporary swing-dancing scene, looking at the different dance styles and the associated culture, community and fashion. Illustrated with vintage and contemporary photography, as well as specially commissioned step-by-step guides, it provides everything you need to know, whether you fancy kicking up your heels in the Charleston or mastering the Lindy Hop ‘swing out’. The four major dance styles are covered – Charleston, Collegiate Shag, Balboa and Lindy Hop, including the Strolls, which are guaranteed to fill the dance floor. Each chapter begins with an overview of the fascinating evolution of the dance style. ‘Get the Look’ examines the fashions for guys and girls, including hair and make-up, and a clothing, shoes and accessories checklist, while ‘The Music’ suggests the top ten tunes to practise to. Then follows a breakdown of the basic step patterns upon which the dance is built, and a guide to some of the key moves. There are also insider tips from old-timers and today’s leading swing dancers as well as fun, easy-to-follow page-embedded video demonstrations produced exclusively for the book and accessible via scannable QR codes.
