NORMA MILLER

Norma Miller, popularly known by most people as the Queen of Swing, began her dancing career as early as 12. No one can correctly compete with this Lindy Hop’s superstar on the dance floor. Norma was the founder of Lindy Hop Style, and she had received many credits for preserving the acrobatic style involved in swing dancing. This kind of dance has always been her best style to the point it has become her trademark.

Outside dancing, she was a singer and a comedian. Lindy appeared on various sing and jazz dance documentaries. Later on, she taught at the University of Hawaii and Stanford University. Over her career, she received National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts in 2003. Sadly, Norma passed away at the age of 99, after she had produced new music. Her CD featuring her latest six songs will be released by the Billy Bros. Swing Orchestra in 2021.
