May is just around the corner, and it's an important month for Lindy Hoppers all around the world. For the entire month of May, we’ll be honoring Frankie Manning’s positive spirit and his contributions to lindy hop.

• Throw a swingin’ birthday party or a lindy hop dance in Frankie’s honor. 
• Play the music of the Savoy Ballroom and the big bands of the swing era.
• Hold Frankie Manning inspired dance classes and workshops. Here’s a great list and here are some helpful videos. 
• Share Frankie videos and stories.
• Raise funds so that the Frankie Manning Foundation can continue Frankie’s mission.
• Use #FrankieMonth when sharing your plans on social media.
• Change your profile photo for the month of May to a photo of Frankie, with Frankie, or of your favorite dancing photo.
• Suit up Swing Style on May 26th – #TheLindyLook
• Collaborate and make it inclusive within your community.
• Contact other dancers and local organizers and work together to make it a celebration that unites all dancers in your community.
