Despite being danced to fast tempo music, Boogie-Woogie dancers often include complicated footwork variations that involve rapid stepping. The sequence below is a footwork variation that can be done by either dancer (the steps are given for the leader, the follower's steps are mirrored left-right), particularly in combination with the Boogie-Woogie Open Basic.

Welcome to an incomplete book about Lindy Hop.
I wrote the text here five years ago, based on my notes from when I was originally learning Lindy Hop in the mid-1990s. My original plan was to take a large number of illustrative photographs, which would make the bare text much more comprehensible.
However, that was five years ago and I've not gotten as far as taking a single photograph. So rather than waiting any longer, I thought it worth releasing the text as-is, in case it's useful to anyone else.
I'd interested to hear any feedback, but unfortunately I can't promise to do much about it.
And maybe one day I'll get as far as illustrating the book, and creating the originally-intended printed version:
This book is dedicated to the memory of Frankie Manning (1914-2009), Ambassador of Lindy Hop.
