Introduction
Swing Dance refers to a group of dances that developed with the swing style of jazz music in the 1920s, '30s and '40s. The best known of these dances is ”Lindy Hop”, a popular partner dance that originated in Harlem. While the majority of swing dances began in African American communities, a number of forms developed within Anglo-American or other ethnic group communities.
Swing dancers were there to entertain people in the great Jazz Era. It is not only Lindy Hop, but also all manner of dances from that time: Charleston, Tap dancing, Vintage Jazz, Balboa, Blues and Burlesque. All these types of swing dance all look very vintage, classy, subtle, joyful and dynamic and are always impressive to watch.
