5. Buy goods from other lindy hoppers

There are many talented lindy hoppers out there offering clothing, jewelry, shoes, and more. Lindyshopper has links to lots of vendors of vintage, repro and dance appropriate clothing. Here’s a specific FB group for finding shoes.

6. Offer your services and goods to other dancers

If you have a particular skill or goods to share, let your local community know. Personally, I’m baking a lot, and giving away cake and cookies.

7. Check in on people in your community who might need help

Particularly those who are particularly isolated or vulnerable. A phone call or a Facetime chat can mean the world to someone who is feeling lonely or sad.

There are many other ways to help of course. But this should get you started. What are you doing to help out your fellow dancers in this time?
