Created in the middle of 1941, the California Routine is one of the most pervasive and recognizable Lindy Hop routines. Originally choreographed in the middle of 1941, the California Routine represents one of Frankie Manning’s interpretations of Jumpin’ at the Woodside. Created for the movie Hellzapoppin’, the routine featured for couples, all members of Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers, and begins as the last of their solos end. Although it wasn’t the first routine to hit the big screen, it represented a step towards the increased professionalism of lindy hoppers because of the requirements that Frankie Manning placed on himself as the choreographer and the demanding practice schedule placed on the all of the dancers. This routine helped to establish lindy hoppers as more than filler for more established types of entertainers. The California Routine, preserved in the film Hellzapoppin’ is an essential part of Lindy Hop history and a great way to learn about partnered Lindy Hop routines.

Frankie Manning's performance

There's a conversation somehow like this (name of characters just for illustration only):

Jerry: I have been thinking about whether love should go with my brain or my heart.
Tom:  How you think?
Jerry: Rational is like a light to lead your heart when it gets lost.
Tom:  How it works?
Jerry: That your mind knows the reasons that make you fall in love with the person will help you out when all your feelings are gone.
Tom:  What's the reason for your love?
Jerry: A few years ago, my lover had the most beautiful eyes in the world. But...
Tom:  And...? 
Jerry: Now, those eyes are not very beautiful anymore. Not because they are changed, just because I have seen lots of pretty eyes recently.
Tom:  You got your answer, I think, or I got the answer for myself.
