Roger's Swing Site
|
East Coast, West Coast, and Lindy Hop Swing site run by Roger M. Christian. Has some Lindy Hop history from an Arthur Murray/Ballroom perspective. The site is part of both International InterCultrual Communications IE and is a part of the International and National Cultural Fiesta Movement. Roger was kind enough to place a great link from his site to SwingBuffalo.com since his comes up pretty high in search results for "swing Buffalo".
