  • An Aerial (also acrobatic, air step or air) is a dance move in Lindy Hop or Boogie Woogie where one's feet leave the floor. As opposed to a lift, aerial is a step where a partner needs to be thrown into the air and then landed in time with the music. Each aerial consists of a preparation ('prep'), jump or trick itself and the landing. The first Lindy Hop aerial was performed by Frankie Manning in 1935. Frankie Manning and George "Shorty" Snowden competed in weekly dance contests at the Savoy Ballroom. Shorty George and his partner Big Bea had a move, where they stood back-to-back; they locked arms; Big Bea bent over, picking Shorty George up on her back; and then she carried him off the floor, while he kicked his feet. Frankie Manning wanted to outdo Shorty George, so he convinced his partner , to flip over his back. Called the 'over the back', this flip is considered the first Lindy aerial. Aerials quickly caught on in Lindy Hop. In 1935, the troupe Whitey's Lindy Hoppers (aka the ) formed and performed at private parties in New York. From 1936 to 1941, they toured the world and performed in movies and some after 1945, showing Lindy Hop and aerials to the world. Moves similar to aerials had been performed in other dances before 1935. For example, the Nicholas Brothers used leaps and flips in their tap dance routines in the early 1930s at the Cotton Club. Flash dancers, who toured with big bands in the United States in the early twentieth century, performed acrobatic dances, often matched with tap dancers and contortionists in traveling shows. (en)
  • Eine Hebefigur ist eine Tanzfigur, bei der ein Tänzer einen anderen Tänzer hochhebt. Formaler: Eine Tanzfigur, bei der ein Tänzer von mindestens einem anderen Tänzer gestützt wird und den Boden nicht berührt. Die international gebräuchlichen englischsprachigen Fachbegriffe für „Hebefigur“ sind lift (von englisch (to) lift für „hochheben“) und aerial / air step (englisch für „luftig“, „oberirdisch“), wobei aerial auch akrobatische Tanzfiguren umfasst. Im Lindy Hop, einem Vorläufer des heutigen Jive und Rock 'n' Roll wird der erste „air step“ dem Tänzer Frankie Manning zugesprochen, der 1935 bei einem Tanzwettbewerb im Savoy Ballroom einen „back to back roll“ vorführte.
