Swop

Swop is a fusion of swing and hip hop dances, created by person(s) unknown but possibly renamed from "Hip-Hop Lindy" to "Swop" by Hinton Battle in 2006. It contains steps from hip hop, break dancing, Lindy Hop and swing air steps (aerials). The exact year of origin of the dance style is unknown, however, records indicate that the style was being taught, danced and discussed as early as 2001. The first mainstream appearance of this new style was in the movie Idlewild in 2006. A performance in the popular TV show Dancing with the Stars followed.
