Surely Lindy Hop has the best-dressed dancers around?

Ok, so maybe the Rock’n’Rollers are better at getting everyone in the room looking period, but what we lack in completeness we make up for with sartorial elegance: Slacks and waistcoats, braces and cravats, pocket squares, bow ties and two-tone brogues - all nods to a classic age.

And les Filles: tea dresses and playsuits, high-waisted shorts and bobby socks, pencil skirts and victory rolls… Le sigh…

Regarding other partner dance styles, Modern Jive and West Coast Swing are too incoherent to have a distinctive style, Latin and ballroom regularly commit horrendous crimes against aesthetics and Salsa is at best extremely casual and at worst a silk-shirted geometric-patterned monstrosity.

No, it’s the 1930’s all the way for me.
