The Hop

If heaven for swing dancers did exist, it would look like The Hop Bangkok. A narrow staircase between two buildings on Silom leads to a cheerful, vintage-looking studio. Inside, attractive couples, dressed in ′50s-style garb, converse near the dance floor. Soon as the music plays, someone calls for everyone to drop their drinks and get their groove on. “Anybody can do the Lindy Hop dance. You just bring your heart to the floor and see how it goes,” says founder Oat Naviroj.
