This dance floor helped change the world.
100 years ago today, the Savoy Ballroom opened its doors.
March 12, 1926 - Harlem, NYC.
A place where jazz bands shook the room,
where Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers lit up the floor,
and where dancers crossed color lines
when much of the world outside would not.
The heartbeat of Harlem.
The birthplace of Lindy Hop.
A cathedral of swing in the heart of Harlem.
Rooted in African-American culture -
a legacy that still moves us today.
Grateful to dance here
and say thank you to the place where it all began.
If Lindy Hop has ever brought you joy,
this place is part of that story.
