International Scenes
While the United States is home to the largest number of lindy hoppers in the world, there are also communities throughout Europe (including Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, the United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey), Canada, the Asia-Pacific region (including Australia and New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam), and South America (including Argentina and Brazil). The small village of Herräng in Sweden (north of Stockholm) has unofficially become the international mecca of Lindy Hop due to the thirty-year-old annual Herräng Dance Camp run by the Harlem Hot Shots.

Famous quotes containing the word scenes:
“One reason writers write is out of revenge. Life hurts; certain ideas and experiences hurt; one wants to clarify, to set out illuminations, to replay the old bad scenes and get the Treppenworte said—the words one didn’t have the strength or ripeness to say when those words were necessary for one’s dignity or survival.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
