Frankie Manning dies at 94

Frankie "Musclehead" Manning, a Harlem dancer and Tony Award-winning choreographer widely celebrated as one of the pioneers of the Lindy Hop, a breathlessly acrobatic swing dance style of the 1930s and '40s, died April 27 at New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital of pneumonia. He was 94.

Manning was the star attraction at the Savoy ballroom and he brought swing dance alive by showcasing the Lindy Hop from ballrooms to stage and on screen. Frankie Manning will be missed and his craft will be forever celebrated. Check out Frankie doing his amazing craft!
