IS LINDY HOP A SWING DANCE?

Answer: 

The Lindy Hop is an American dance which was born in Harlem, New York City, in 1928 and has evolved since then with the jazz music of that time. It was very popular during the swing era of the late 1930s and early 1940s. … It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family.

The jitterbug is another moniker many used in place of the word lindy hop. Lindy Hop was popularized among African-Americans in the United States in the early 20th century I am a little biased, preferring Lindy Hop swing over all other forms of swing dance.
