| - The Lindy Hop is a dance performed on Dancing with the Stars. A member of the Swing dance family, the Lindy Hop was originated in the 1920's in the United States in Harlem, New York. A fun and highly energetic dance, includes many of the popular swing moves such as rock steps, triple steps, and lindies. Difficult lifts and partner-assisted flips are allowed and encouraged. The Lindy Hop was introduced to Dancing with the Stars in Season 8. It was not performed again until Season 15.
- In its development lindy hop combined elements of both solo and partner dancing by using the movements and improvisation of African dances along with the formal 8-count structure of European partner dances. This is most clearly illustrated in lindy's basic step, the swingout. In this step's open position each dancer improvises alone, and in its closed position men and women dance together — a practice usually forbidden in African dances. Revived in the 1980s by European and American dance historians, lindy hop is now popular today throughout the developed world.
- The Lindy Hop is an American dance that evolved in Harlem, New York City in the 1920s and 1930s and originally evolved with the jazz music of that time. Lindy was a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway and Charleston. It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family.

In its development, the Lindy Hop combined elements of both partnered and solo dancing by using the movements and improvisation of black dances along with the formal eight-count structure of European partner dances. This is most clearly illustrated in the Lindy's basic step, the swingout. In this step's open position, each dancer is generally connected hand-to-hand; in its closed position, men and women are connected as though in an embrace. Revived in the 1980s by American, Swedish, and British dancers, the Lindy Hop is now represented by dancers and loosely affiliated grass roots organizations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
