A dance style also apparently known as "hip-hop lindy" or "lindy hip-hop". A websearch come up with mentions here and there (mostly on social media and video sharing websites), but I'm having trouble locating any sources apart from this 2010 article about the creation of the "brand new dance genre" of swop. That's not enough for a standalone article, and that's not enough to warrant adding a mention to either Swing music or Lindy hop (the swing style that apparently influenced this modern development). Swing Hip Hop looks like a potentially valid more general article, but that got deleted ten years ago. – Uanfala (talk) 12:58, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was a 3 sentence article, the first two sentences of which are covered in the one at hand (except that the deleted article spelled it "swap"). The third sentence was another couple-XY-danced-it-on-a-dance-competition-tv-show claim. Uncle G (talk) 23:46, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
