Take the TikTok #DancewithFrankie Dance Challenge!
/
Our friend Sing Lim shared out recently a TikTok dance challenge to honor the late, great lindy hopper Frankie Manning.
For Frankie's birthday this year, we invite you and everyone at home to Dance With Frankie!
We've made a fun edit from a never-shared-before interview and demo, generously donated by the late Lance Benishek, and with added music by Jonathan Stout. You might recognize the steps from the Tranky Doo or they might be new to you. Just jump on in and film yourself dancing along with Frankie!
You can Duet with him on TikTok or just dance by yourself. Share your videos on social media and remember to tag #DanceWithFrankie #FrankieManning #FrankieManningFoundation #FrankieMonth #WorldLindyHopDay #FrankiesBirthday2021 #HappyBirthdayFrankie
To Dance with Frankie use @happybirthdayfrankie on Tiktok or using this link: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMe4yMEWE/ .
Here’s Sing Lim’s version to inspire you.
