Legendary Lindy Hopper Ryan Francois Needs Our Help!

Ryan Francois was one of my earliest lindy hop heroes, from my earliest days as a dancer in the 2000s. Performer, choreographer, and international teacher, Ryan is just a legend in the scene.

Unfortunately, he was in an accident a few months back that resulted in injury to his wrist and thumb. A new fundraiser just launched organized by Jodi Daynard and Helen Parham to raise funds for his recovery. Please support if you can.

Here’s some notable videos from Ryan’s long career as a dancer.
