Toronto’s big Frankie Tribute Weekend is quickly approaching, and it’s exciting to also be able to share the winners of this year’s global Frankie Manning Foundation Ambassador scholarships!
3 fabulous winners have been selected. They come from 3 different global locations:
- Taiwan
- Mozambique
- Orange County, CA
The recipients will be sent to the Herrang Dance Camp in Sweden to study and then take what they’ve learned back to their communities to share.
The Foundation is also sponsoring youth programs, sending some teens individuals to Beantown and to the International Lindy Hop Championships.
It’s very exciting that our event in Toronto is able to help with funds that go through the Frankie Manning Foundation to support these fabulous programs. Have a look at this video sent in from the Mozambique group. It’s the most incredible mix of African dancing, Lindy Hop and The Big Apple! Frankie would have LOVED this!
