American Lindy Hop Championships

The American Lindy Hop Championships is a major dance convention dedicated primarily to Lindy Hop. The event started Halloween weekend in 1998 produced, in part, with the aid of Boogie Dance Productions, a New York-based dance promoter. The first event happened over a four-day weekend at the Playboy Resort in Vernon Township, New Jersey. It was chronicled in the Year in Pictures edition of Life Magazine as a first-of-its-kind event promoting Lindy Hop and it's sister dances at the time - tap, jazz and blues dancing. It hosted an international audience of dancers who came to be part of the first event since the extended Swing Era to concentrate on Lindy Hop.

Emphasis is placed onto showcase categories.
