Who was Frankie Manning and what is the Lindy Hop?

Who was Frankie Manning and what is the Lindy Hop? - The creator of the Lindy Hop, an American dance that had its heyday in 1920s New York, would have turned 102 today. In honour of Frankie Manning, the dancer and choreographer behind the Lindy Hop, Google has created a Doodle of two people in the midst of the dance, which fuses jazz, tap, breakaway and Charleston.
