Savoy and Hollywood (Dean Collins) are very different styles - if you need confirmation ask Ryan Francois
(
Frankie Manning is the Savoy style master)
Robert & Claire Austin teach Hollywood and so do Paul & Natasha - it is the dance made popular by Dean Collins in the 40's and seen in most American war type films
(you may find clips of the above on Utube)

IMO my fave teacher of Lindy Hop ever (it is a shame they have stopped "Sultans of Swing" the yearly Coventry event
) to watch him and his partner Virginee is pure lindy heaven
However, as straycat264 has said his dancing has changed over the years - and his style is his own - very very smooth
