From February 2013 to June 2014 I was the Overall Event Organizer for Frankie 100:
Frankie 100 took place in New York City May 22nd to 26th, 2014. The purpose of the event was to celebrate and remember Frankie Manning, the Ambassador of Swing, by naming May 26th as World Lindy Hop Day. The festival brought together communities from around the world to celebrate the roots and origins of Lindy Hop and Big Band Swing.
