This divine sculpture of a beautiful couple swinging away to the famous "Lindy Hop" is astonishing. He quickly but very steady lifts her as she kicks her left leg up in the air. Adding flavor to the dance she holds a piece of cloth and is wearing a mini-dress that is cut very low around her cleavage. The Lindy Hop evolved in Harlem, New York City in the 1920s and `30s and originally evolved with the jazz music of that time. Lindy was a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway, and Charleston. When "Air steps" or "aerials" such as the Hip to Hip, Side Flip, and Over the Back (the names describe the motion of the woman in the air) began to appear in 1936 a lot of the first creators disapprove, but it became an instant hit. Air steps are now widely associated with the characterization of Lindy hop, despite being generally reserved for competition or performance dancing, and not generally being executed on any social dance floor. This sculpture was cast using the ancient old "Lost Wax Method" stained in a two tone brown patina finish for preservation. 100% handmade and 100% bronze, mounted atop a black marble base and is signed by artist Julius Erte.
