Liverpool is celebrating its links with New York by challenging people of all ages in Merseyside to take part in a massive Lindy Hop dance by the Mersey on Sunday, August 8th.
The dance was developed in ‘the Big Apple’ in the 1920s, and Liverpool is putting its own twist on the dance for the second instalment of this summer’s On The Waterfront Festival (August 6th-8th) at the world famous Pier Head.
One lucky couple could find themselves hopping on to the Orient Express courtesy of a face in the crowd competition.
The dance theme of the second weekend of On The Waterfront celebrates Liverpool’s Year of Health and Wellbeing and LEAP’s Year of Dance, and will also be a showcase the very best of international outdoor dance.
In 2009 Liverpool celebrated its links with New York at the inaugural festival with a special screening of the Oscar winning classic – On The Waterfront.
