Make it vintage-inspired, or floral dresses!\nEvery year, Lindy Hoppers all over the world gather to commemorate the anniversary of Frankie Manning’s birth on May 26, 1914. The tradition began with Frankie 99 in 2013 as Hoppers all over the world learned a dance routine, and continues every year in some way, shape or form. Gottaswing’s contribution can be see in this great tribute video, \n    \n" class="__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload" title="YouTube player"  allow="fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy="1" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll="">.\nWe’ve done public dances at the World War II Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial, and are really thrilled to add Freedom Plaza to our list. Situated on Pennsylvania Avenue, NW between 13th and 14th Streets, we’re treated to a fantastic vista bookended by The White House on one end and the U.S. Capitol on the other. How majestic!\n

<p>We&#8217;ve done public dances at the World War II Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial, and are really thrilled to add Freedom Plaza to our list. Situated on Pennsylvania Avenue, NW between 13th and 14th Streets, we&#8217;re treated to a fantastic vista bookended by The White House on one end and the U.S. Capitol on the other. How majestic!<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-4060 alignright" src="https://gottaswing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/freedom5-300x189.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="189" srcset="https://gottaswing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/freedom5-300x189.jpg 300w, https://gottaswing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/freedom5-600x378.jpg 600w, https://gottaswing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/freedom5.jpg 660w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
