Honorees

On Saturday, October 10, 2026 at the historic Prince George Ballroom in New York City, NYLX will continue our tradition of honoring distinguished individuals who have made outstanding achievements in dance and who are highly respected for their professional accomplishments spanning several decades. These honorees will be celebrated for their work that has advanced the art of Jazz Dance/Lindy Hop, enhancing the rich cultural landscape and legacy of the art form, and inspiring audiences and artists around the world. This year, NYLX proudly celebrates the Frankie Manning Foundation.
