Lindy Hop is a fusion of many dances from all over the United States from the early 1900s, but is mainly based on the Charleston. Lindy Hop combines the movements and improvization of African dances with the formal 8-count structure of European dances. African dances usually separate the men from the women. Europeans invented partner dancing.
