CrazyLegs Lindy Hop: About

About Crazylegs

Crazylegs Lindy Hop Performance Group was founded by Adam & Camille in 2002. Born from their love of lindy hop, their interest and drive to improve, and their interest in sharing their passion with other dancers, Crazylegs started out performing at the seasonal recitals held for Joanne Gervais' School of Performing Arts.

Since 2005, Crazylegs has branched out and performed at Lindy League events, HOSS events, The Boston Tea Party and various other events throughout New England.

Currently in it's 6th year, Crazylegs will be starting up a new performance season starting in September 2007. For more information, email adam.
