Lindy Hop Scene from Malcolm X
A great clip from the film Malcolm X starring Denzel Washington. Look for Frankie Manning in this clip. He was the choreographer and taught Denzel how to Lindy. This dance scene is held at what was to be a re-creation of Roseland Ballroom in New York but Malcolm X danced mostly at the Savoy Ballroom, the birthplace of Lindy. The civil rights leader, Malcolm X, wrote in his autobiography how much he loved the lindy hop.
