.Kalamazoo As R-n-R has its roots with Lindy Hop and swing with many moves  not much different It is strange that some clubs are elitist  about their dance styles. One of the best clubs with mixed styles is Brighton, Kalamazoo. A wonderful mix of 30s 40s 50s jive music played there. Interestingly  the 50s film Don't Knock the Rock, with Bill Hailey has jivers doing Lindy and swing as R-n-R  !!!
