Swing |

The term "swing dance" is
commonly used to refer either to a group of dances developing during the
swing era (late 1920s to 1940s) or to the current dances and dance scenes
centered on swing dancing. Historical swing dances as a family are usually
situated within an African American vernacular dance tradition, though there
are some exceptions which developed within the white or mainstream American
community. Almost all of the former feature the syncopated timing associated
with African American and West African music and dance, and with jazz dances
of the jazz era (late 19th century to the 1940s). Most swing dances developed
in response to swing (genre) music, though many of these styles and their
descendents are danced today to modern music. There are swing dance scenes in
many developed Western and Asian countries throughout the world, though each
city and country varies in the popularity of specific dances, local culture
and definitions of "swing dance" and "appropriate" dance
music. *courtesy of wikipedia |
