General Event Questions
What is a Lindy Exchange?

Exchanges are basically a weekend of almost non-stop dancing thrown by one city for all of the lindy hoppers in the world. Dancers go to these and dance all hours of the night, and then wake up and dance some more. Whew!

Exchanges are a great way to experience the styles of scenes and to meet dancers across the world.

What about the Toronto Lindy Exchange Spectacular?

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Lindy Hop in Toronto and Canada. We wanted to celebrate with a local reunion style weekend, but realized that we could go even bigger with a Lindy Exchange!

Toronto hasn’t hosted a Lindy Exchange since 2010, and we miss having people from different parts the world dance under one roof!
