🏢Museum of the City of New York
Step into interactive galleries and move through the rhythm of dance and music in a guided exploration through the roots of the Lindy Hop led by Derrick León Washington, curator of Urban Stomp: Dreams & Defiance on the Dance Floor. Hear how Louis Armstrong helped shape the sound of early swing through rare recordings. Dive into the stories of New York’s most iconic ballrooms—where Frankie Manning and other dancers sparked a movement. Along the way, you’ll encounter original instruments from music legends, vintage photographs, sculptures, and film clips featuring some of the greatest musicians, dancers, and Lindy Hoppers of all time. Each tour ends on the “All Dancing Allowed” floor—where you’re invited to try the Lindy Hop and other social dances. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity (and maybe your dancing shoes).
General Admission $15 | Members $10
