Our friends at the Frankie Manning Foundation remind us that May is #FrankieMonth! They have a whole list of ways that you can help celebrate the life and legacy of the late great Frankie Manning. They include:

Throw a swingin’ birthday party or a lindy hop dance in Frankie’s honor.

Play the music of the Savoy Ballroom and the big bands of the swing era.

Hold Frankie Manning inspired dance classes and workshops. Here’s a great list and here are some helpful videos.

Share Frankie videos and stories.

Raise funds so that the Frankie Manning Foundation can continue Frankie’s mission.

Use #FrankieMonth when sharing your plans on social media.

Change your profile photo for the month of May to a photo of Frankie, with Frankie, or of your favorite dancing photo.

Suit up Swing Style on May 26th – #TheLindyLook

Collaborate and make it inclusive within your community.

Contact other dancers and local organizers and work together to make it a celebration that unites all dancers in your community.
