We're back! Even though folks said it couldn't be done last year, we managed to have a fantastic Lindy Gras 2006, living up to and beyond all expectations.
Our venues are secured, and our musicians are home. More information will be coming shortly, so be sure to save the date because Lindy Gras will be better than ever!

Dance New Orleans, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization supporting the arts in the greater New Orleans metropolitan area. All proceeds from this and other events find their way back into the New Orleans dance community through outreach & educational projects. For more information on our organization, please visit our website HERE.
Lindy Gras is a great, direct method of supporting the New Orleans music scene. As with all major Lindy Hop events, we put money directly into the pockets of musicians - as many as 25 in years past. Nowhere is this more important than right here in New Orleans, right now during our time of rebirth. This year we hope to employ more musicians than ever, and you can be proud knowing your registration fee is going to a great cause.
