DC Hand Dance, known as "Hand Dance", is the Official Dance of the District of Columbia by Resolution of the DC Council. Formed in the early 1950s, when it evolved from the Lindy Hop and Jitterbug dance styles, DC Hand Dance is an improvisational form of swing style partner dancing developed in the Washington, DC area by African Americans. The current reboot and revitalization of the dance hold the fundamentals of the dance in place while allowing the current and future generations, add their spin to the dance.
